I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter chili pepper than the recipe called for. Next time I'll use a milder pepper.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but I was pleasantly surprised. The coconut milk added a subtle sweetness and creaminess to the salad that was really nice. I'll definitely be making this again.
