This salad is not worth the effort. The dressing is bland and the spinach is limp.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The dressing was too thin and the spinach was tough.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste and the spinach was a little wilted.
