  • Peel the onions and cut crosswise in half. Cut each half crosswise into very thin slices. There should be about two cups.
  • Cut away and discard the stems of the mushrooms. Cut the caps into very thin slices. There should be about one and one-quarter cups. Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice and toss.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp. Split them lengthwise in half. There should be about two cups. Cut the scallops into rounds.
  • Put the celery cabbage in a bowl, add the onions and mushrooms and toss. Arrange the shrimp and scallops neatly over all. Garnish all around with the tomato wedges. Sprinkle with one tablespoon chopped dill.
  • To make the salad dressing, put the mustard in a mixing bowl and add the vinegar and sugar. Start beating with a wire whisk and gradually add the oil. Beat in the dill, salt and pepper.
