This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste and the avocado was a bit too mushy.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more salt and pepper to the dressing next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lettuce salads, but this one was really good. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the avocado added a nice creamy texture.
