Made this salad and brought to our weekly Sunday family dinner. It was a hit! I used half dill and half parsley.

What a delicious dressing! It's such a fresh tasting salad with the scallions and celery tops (had to use the celery tops, since in my Scandinavian family we never waste them!) The hint of mustard in the dressing is so different and good. This easily scaled down to one serving, although after tasting it I know my kids would have eaten it too. Thanks for sharing this one!

This was very good! I also used fresh dill and lots of scallions just the way we like it. Thank you!
