I thought this dish was just okay. I think it would have been better with some grilled chicken or fish.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less salt.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

I found this dish to be a bit dry. I think it would have been better with a little more olive oil.
