I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more herbs or spices.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd pleaser. I love the combination of sweet and savory flavors. I often add a bit of crumbled goat cheese for an extra touch of richness.
