This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less fruit and more savory ingredients. But overall, it was still a good salad.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm so glad I did! The mayonnaise was not overpowering at all, and the salad was so creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
