This salad was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and uninspired. I think it could have used some more flavor, maybe some chopped red onion or some crumbled blue cheese. Overall, this salad was just average.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less mandarin oranges and more chicken. I also found the dressing to be a bit too thick. I'll probably thin it out with some water next time.
