This salad was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the dressing was bland.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of melon, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is really good and the melon adds a nice sweetness.
