This salad was a disaster. The dressing was too runny and the pears were too hard.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This salad was okay, but I wasn't blown away. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found the dressing to be a bit too oily. I think I'll use less olive oil next time.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less pears next time.

This salad was delightful! The combination of peppery arugula, sweet pears, and salty Gorgonzola cheese was perfect. I also loved the dressing, which was light and flavorful.
