I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland, and the dressing was too thick. I think I would have liked it better with a lighter dressing.

This salad was a bit too sweet for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think I would have liked it better with a more tart dressing.

This salad was easy to make and very refreshing. I used a mix of red and green pears, and they looked beautiful in the salad. I also added a bit of crumbled goat cheese, which I think really complemented the flavors.
