What we were looking for was a different dressing for our shrimp/crab salad and this is a winner for us. All the items for the salad part was the same as ours, except we added a few pettite peas for an extra pop in your mouth. We were nervious about the dill, and decided to go with the white wine. We aren't fond of mayo, however with the wine thinning it and the flavor this was very enjoyable. We will make this dressing for our seafood salad again. So simple, yet lots of flavor.

Served this at a party of about 30 people. I split the top of several slender baguettes, lightly toasted them and filled them up with the shrimp salad and cut into 3" lengths. Also had Ina's Chicken Salad Veronique in baguettes and both were very well received. Very economical and elegant. Perfection! No leftovers and everyone loved it! Ina just knows how to make food good!
