We enjoyed this salad. It was easy to prepare and the flavors blend nicely.

Very good! I didn't have celery, so I used red pepper instead. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and will make again. Thanks!

Very good pasta salad. I halved the recipe, but I didn't halve the celery, onions, parsley and dry mustard. I thought it needed the extra of each of those. It turned out nice and creamy. Thanx for sharing!
