Based on previous reviews, I put in 1/2 tsp salt instead of 1 tsp.  Still a tad salty, so next time I will do 1/4 tsp kosher salt.  I did a loose-pack 1 cup of parsley, and then maybe a tablespoon over the 1/4 cup olive oil since reviewers were saying that it was a touch thick or they didn't care for the consistency.  With these mods, it was perfect for MY taste and I will definitely put this in a rotation when I need a different, fun dip!  Please go ahead and try it using your mods for your own personal taste.  Thank you, Giada!  Also, I used cut up celery and those small, fun mini sweet peppers you find in the clear bag in the store.  GREAT with veggies (as other reviewers have noted).
