This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. I had some mesclun mix that was starting to wilt, and this salad was the perfect way to use it up.

I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less blue cheese, and I would add some chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The dressing was too oily for my liking. I would have preferred a vinaigrette or a lighter dressing.

This salad was a bit too sharp for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder cheese, like feta or goat cheese.
