We LOVED it! And so simple and quick to make and moreover so flavourful! I eye-stimated the quantities and was generous with the mustard! I used fresh dill and parsley. DH is not a big fan of 'cold' pasta so he had his without the pasta :rolleyes: We loved the dressing! I shall definitely try it next time as a dip as well! Thank you, Cookin-jo, for sharing your wonderful recipe!

I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
