The chicken was a bit tough, but the salad was still good. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the salad was still good. I would recommend using a different cooking method for the chicken next time.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra ginger and soy sauce to give it more flavor.
