I thought this salad was just okay. It was easy to make, but the flavor was a bit bland.

This salad was a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. They loved the sweet vinaigrette.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used too much cumin. Next time I'll use less.

This salad was a great make-ahead lunch. I made it the night before and it was still fresh and delicious the next day.

I'm not a big fan of cumin, but I thought this salad was still very good. The honey vinaigrette helped to balance out the cumin flavor.

This salad was a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some grilled chicken and avocado, and it was a complete meal.

I thought this salad was just okay. The vinaigrette was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the vegetables were not as crisp as I would have liked.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought vinaigrette, but I'm sure the homemade one would be even better.

This salad was a hit! The cumin-honey vinaigrette was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the chopped vegetables were so fresh and crisp. I will definitely be making this again.
