This dish is a nice change from ordinary green salad and is elegant enough for company. The dressing is one of my favorites. Its sweetness complements the crisp greens and crunchy green beans. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

This salad was a bit bland. I would add some more spices to the dressing next time.

The dressing was too oily for my liking. I would use less olive oil next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing next time.

This salad was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The ginger-apricot dressing was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and tang. The combination of fresh greens, crunchy veggies, and dried apricots was also spot-on.
