We really didn't care for this ~ just not a taste combination that we enjoyed. All of us thought it was missing something but we weren't sure what. Will try it again using the vanilla yogurt instead of plain fat free yogurt as that may make the difference for us. Made for Went to Market Tag.

Just right for a light lunch, served on a croissant and some leafy lettuce with a little fresh fruit on the side. The yogurt and Dijon was a nice change from my usual. Thank you, Parsley!
