Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out way too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This salad is a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.
