I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The blue cheese dressing is the perfect complement to the crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes.

The salad was good, but I found the dressing to be a bit bland. I would have liked it more if it had a bit more flavor.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese dressing, but I loved the dressing in this salad. It was creamy and tangy, without being too overpowering.
