I thought this salad was just okay. It was easy to make, but the flavor was a little bland. I probably won't be making this again.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was too salty and the croutons were soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought Caesar dressing and it was still really good. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of romaine lettuce, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing was so flavorful and the croutons added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
