I found this salad to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning.

This salad is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try making it with a different dressing next time.

I'm not a huge fan of salads, but this one is actually really good. The vegetables are fresh and crisp, and the dressing is light and tangy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and bell pepper that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in this salad and it turned out great! The dressing is also really good and tangy.
