The dressing was a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll try making it with less oil next time.

This pasta salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

I'm not a huge fan of pasta salad, but this one is really good. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the vegetables are crisp and fresh.

I was a bit skeptical about the lemon-herb dressing, but it was surprisingly good. It really complemented the fresh vegetables.
