This salad is a culinary abomination. It should be banned from all cookbooks.

This salad is the worst thing I've ever eaten. I would rather eat a bowl of nails.

This salad is a disgrace to Italian cuisine. It's an insult to pasta.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The salad was bland and tasteless.

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.

The salad was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I found that the salad was a bit too sour for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the dressing.

I'm not a fan of tahini, so I used a different dressing. The salad was still good, but I think it would have been better with the lemon-tahini dressing.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. It's a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the pasta and the dressing, so they don't even notice the green beans.

I'm not a huge fan of green beans, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it makes the green beans taste amazing.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before and then it's ready to go for lunch or dinner the next day.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The green beans are slightly crunchy, the pasta is tender, and the dressing is tangy and creamy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I always have a few extra after I make green bean casserole for Thanksgiving.

I added some grilled chicken to this salad and it was delicious! It's a great way to get a complete meal in one dish.

This salad is so refreshing and flavorful. The lemon-tahini dressing is the perfect complement to the tender green beans and pasta.
