This salad was a disaster. The dressing curdled and the lettuce was wilted.

This salad was not what I expected. The dressing was too thick and the croutons were soggy.

This salad was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. The dressing was creamy and flavorful, but I would have preferred it to be a little lighter.
