I'm not a big fan of spinach salads, but this one was actually pretty good. The pears and walnuts added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I would definitely make this salad again.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the pears were not as flavorful as I had hoped. I also found that the walnuts were a bit too crunchy. Overall, I was not impressed with this salad.
