I'm not a huge fan of lemon dressing, but the dressing in this salad is amazing. It's tangy and flavorful, but not overpowering.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I usually make it the night before and it's even better the next day.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the veggies were undercooked.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover veggies. I always have a bag of frozen peas and carrots in my freezer, so this is a quick and easy go-to meal.

The lemon dressing was a bit too sour for my taste, but overall the salad was good. I added some honey to balance the flavors.
