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

The dressing was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less oil or adding some Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less cranberries or adding some other tart fruit, like grapefruit or oranges.
