I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much vinegar.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more herbs or spices.

The vegetables in this salad were a bit overcooked. I think it would have been better if they had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This salad was a little too sour for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a less acidic dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of vinegar-based dressings, but this one was actually really good. The sweetness of the vegetables balanced out the tanginess of the dressing.

This escabeche salad was a hit at my last potluck! The flavors were so bright and tangy, and the vegetables were perfectly crisp. I especially loved the addition of the capers and olives.
