I thought the salad was just okay. The asparagus was a bit tough and the dressing was bland.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but this salad was surprisingly good. The bacon and dressing really made it.

The salad was easy to make and very tasty. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the bacon was crispy. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, but that's just personal preference.
