Made this for Father's Day dinner. Fabulous! I doubled recipe to serve 4. Next time, I will use less mayo and yogurt to keep the dressing lighter. In doubling the dressing, it looked slathered up a bit. But, still delicious! Good for special days; and so simple, it's great for everyday.06/21/09

The salad really is as good as the other reviews promise! I substituted dried cranberries and walnuts, a combination of regular and light mayo, and nonfat yogurt and served it with turkey sandwiches. I'll be making this to use up many leftover celery stalks in the future!08/26/07
