This salad is way too expensive! I can get a better salad at the grocery store for half the price.

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 a bit too bland for me. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a fan of smoked almonds, so I used regular almonds instead. The salad was still good, but I think I would have liked it better with the smoked almonds.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I can fix that by using less sugar in the dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of salads, but this one is actually really good. The smoked almond dressing is what makes it.

I've never tried smoked almonds before, but they were so good in this dressing! I'll definitely be using them again in other recipes.

This salad is a great way to use up all the fresh veggies from my garden. It's also a nice change from the usual Caesar or ranch salads.
