Followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out perfect. The dressing is a little tangy for my taste, but I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The ingredients are fresh and the presentation is nice.

Not a fan of the dressing, but the salad itself is great. I'll be trying it again with a different dressing.

Not the prettiest salad, but it's so delicious and satisfying. The sweet and sour dressing is the perfect complement to the crunchy veggies.
