The dressing for this salad was a little too oily for me. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

This salad was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll cut back on the lemon juice next time.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, but I still enjoyed this salad. The lemon and garlic in the dressing really helped to balance out the mint flavor.

I added some crumbled feta cheese to this salad and it was delicious! It gave it a nice salty flavor.
