Meh. This salad was just okay. I didn't find it to be anything special. I think I'll pass on making it again.

This salad was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me. I think I'll stick to my usual tomato and basil salad recipe.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and always a hit at potlucks. I usually add some grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
