This salad is bland. It needs more seasoning.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing next time.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.
