Parsley Mussel Salad

This is a recipe inspired from my girlfriend Claudie's home town of Marseilles, France.  A far cry from Marseilles, IL!  It's a great way to enjoy parsley in a new and abundant way.  This is an easy dish that's fast to whip up.  It's Low Carb and Gluten Free too!  | www.lakesidetable.com
