The proportions of the ingredients were a bit off, resulting in a salad that was too carrot-heavy. I'll adjust the measurements next time.

Followed the recipe to the letter and ended up with a bland salad. Maybe I'll add some extra herbs or spices next time.

Not a fan of carrot and bean salads, but this recipe changed my mind. The dressing was well-balanced and brought out the natural flavors of the vegetables.

The dressing was a bit too tangy for my liking, but the salad itself was quite enjoyable. I might try a different dressing next time.
