I thought the salad was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the dressing.

I found the dressing to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil.

The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

This salad was a bit too sour for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the dressing.
