This salad was a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper to the dressing.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cranberries and honey in the dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but this salad is delicious. The cranberries and pepitas add a nice sweetness and crunch that makes the kale more palatable.

This salad was a hit at my last party! The flavors of the kale, cranberries, and pepitas were a perfect combination, and the dressing was light and flavorful. I will definitely be making this salad again.
