  1. Oh I did enjoy this Bright, Light, Refreshing and Conforting Salad. I didn`t feel so guilty about eating fried food! I used just 1 cup of fresh chopped parsley, skipped the salt for the cheese is salty enough in which I added flour to the cheese to cut back on the saltiness even more. Oh I also used fresh cauliflower 1/2 head cut into flowerettes. Thanks!!
     
  2. Very good, although I didn't use near the amount of parsley that was stated, this is a bit time-consuming and needed some amount adjustments to suit out tastes, all in all it will most likely be a repeater, thanks for sharing Engrossed!...Kitten:)
     
  3. Surprisingly enough I thought the parsley would take over this salad to the detriment of everything else, but it didn't ~ it was great! I also liked this recipe because it includes uncooked mushrooms, which I much prefer! Many thanks for such a different, & great recipe!
