This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was too heavy and the blue cheese was overpowering.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more blue cheese next time.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought dressing, but I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade one. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but I loved this salad! The dressing was light and flavorful, and the walnuts and cranberries added a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is my go-to salad recipe when I'm looking for something light and refreshing. The spinach and blue cheese are a perfect pair, and the walnuts and cranberries add a nice crunch. I always double the recipe because it goes so fast!

I've made this salad several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is light and tangy, and the blue cheese adds a nice sharpness. I like to add a few slices of grilled chicken for extra protein.
