Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of the dressing for this salad. I think it's a little too sweet for my taste.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. I always have a bunch of kale and spinach in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect, and the sunflower seeds added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
