I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some crumbled cheese.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used ripe pears.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used ripe pears. Next time I'll try using unripe pears or maybe even apples.
