This salad is just okay. The vegetables were fresh, but the dressing was a bit bland.

I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste. I also found the cucumbers to be a bit bland.

This Greek Garden Salad is a delightful summer dish. The combination of fresh vegetables, tangy dressing, and creamy feta cheese is simply irresistible. I especially love the addition of capers, which add a briny, savory flavor.
