This salad was not worth the effort. The flavors did not go well together and the dressing was too sweet.

This salad was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

The dressing was a bit too heavy for my taste. I would recommend using a lighter dressing or adding some water to thin it out.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less pineapple or adding some other ingredients to balance out the sweetness.
