This dish was a bit too complicated for a weeknight meal. I think it would be better suited for a special occasion.

The dressing was a bit too heavy for my liking. I think it would have been better with a lighter dressing, perhaps a vinaigrette.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning, perhaps some garlic or lemon juice.
