This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning or a more flavorful dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I had some wilted spinach in the fridge and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up. The salad was flavorful and filling, and the dressing was tangy and delicious.
