This salad is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of honey to the dressing next time.

I'm not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. They worked just as well.

This salad is a bit bland. I think I'll add some crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese to it next time.

I had a hard time finding fresh cranberries, so I used frozen cranberries instead. They worked just fine.

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