  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
  5. Allow the salad to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Give the salad a final gentle toss before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
