Delicious! I skipped the scallion for personal preference, but added some chopped red and green bell pepper. I think it might even be good with a small amount of chopped jalapeno. I'm going to try that next time. Thank you Sharon.

A five star recipe! Since someone complained about theirs being watery I added the salt to the celery and carrot and then squeezed them out. It came out perfect.
