The salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out delicious. I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and added a bit of honey to the dressing.
