This salad was really easy to make, but it wasn't very flavorful. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more dressing next time.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! I made a double batch and it was all gone by the end of the night. Everyone loved the combination of spinach, bacon, and croutons.
