This salad was bland and uninspired. I wouldn't recommend it.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet potatoes, raisins, and spices was unexpected but incredibly delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
