I found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more herbs or spices.

The dressing is a bit too oily for my taste, but otherwise this salad is great.

I used feta cheese instead of goat cheese and it was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of black-eyed peas, but they were surprisingly good in this salad. The dressing was also very flavorful.
