This salad was a disaster! The dressing was too oily and the cashews were stale.

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

The pears in this salad were not ripe enough. I think it would be better with ripe pears.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar in the dressing next time.
