This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it could be improved with a different dressing.

I wasn't a big fan of this salad. The flavors just didn't work for me. I found the apples to be too sweet and the bacon to be too salty.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more dressing. I also found the curly endive to be a bit too bitter.
