The salad was difficult to make. The instructions were not clear.

The salad was a little bland. I would add some more spices to the dressing next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing next time.

I used a different type of nuts in the salad, and it still turned out great. This recipe is very versatile.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the day before my party, and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I loved this salad! The pineapple and nuts really balanced out the tartness of the cranberries.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I made it with canned pineapple, and it was still very good.
