I'll be honest, I didn't like this salad at all. Sorry!

The dressing was way too sour for my taste.

I thought the combination of basil, spinach, and lime was a bit odd.

I found the dressing to be a bit bland, but the salad itself was quite enjoyable.

Not a huge fan of basil, but this salad still managed to impress me. The dressing is especially tasty!

Followed the recipe and it turned out really well! I will say to be careful with the lime vinaigrette; a little goes a long way.

My first time making a spinach salad, and this recipe was delightful! The lime vinaigrette was a perfect balance of tangy and refreshing, while the combination of basil, spinach, and toasted pine nuts added a wonderful flavor and texture.
