It's fresh tasting and VERY healthy! You can substitute other fruit such as strawberries or blueberries for the grapes, or other types of melon.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I'll try adding some more flavorful ingredients next time.

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
