Green Salad with Grapes and Sunflower Seeds

Barb Gertz's Note:

Whole parsley leaves in a salad add a distinct fresh green taste which stands up to the sweet grapes and salty seeds.

An enjoyable, attractive salad with a unique taste and a tangy dressing. I added a bit more sugar to the dressing, and next time might add some minced shallots as well. I enjoyed the taste of the parsley in this salad, though this may be an acquired taste for some.
