Oh Parsley! This salad was FANTASTIC!! I loved this combination of ingredients and the dressing put it over the top - loved the tarragon! I left out the onions (personal preference) but otherwise made as directed. I think this would even be great without the shrimp. Thanks so much for posting this!
