I made this the night before it was to be served, and if anyone else had the same idea, I would suggest not adding the tomatoes until the next day, as their juices drain out and form a puddle. I, too, used four spring onions and about a quarter cup of parsley. I love how the salad did not need a dressing because all the flavours from the different vegetables marinated together overnight! I think, though, that unless this is a main dish salad, it would serve maybe six instead of four.
