I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This salad was okay, but I've had better. The tomatoes were a little bland.

I'm not sure why, but my tomatoes didn't taste very good in this salad. Maybe I'll try it again with a different type of tomato.
