I'm allergic to peanuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. Maybe I used too much cucumber?

This salad was a bit too time-consuming to make. I don't think I'll be making it again.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use more flavor.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili pepper next time.

The dressing is what really makes this salad. It's tangy, sweet, and a little bit spicy. I could drink it by itself!
