Not bad, but not great either. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of dressing.

Loved the combination of flavors in this salad! The spinach was fresh and crisp, and the dressing was savory and tangy. I added some crumbled tofu for extra protein.

This was okay, but not my favorite. The spinach was a bit too bitter for my taste, and the dressing was a little too sweet.

Really enjoyed this salad! I used a mix of baby spinach and arugula, and added some sliced almonds for extra crunch. The dressing was light and refreshing, and the salad came together in no time.

This salad was incredibly simple to make and packed a flavorful punch! I was worried it might be bland, but the dressing was tangy and perfectly balanced. Will definitely be making this again!
