The salad was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough dressing. Next time, I'll double the amount of dressing.

I'm a big fan of spinach salads, and this one is no exception. The pears add a nice sweetness and crunch, and the dressing is light and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.

I didn't have any pears, so I used apples instead. The salad was still really good, but I think it would have been even better with pears.
