Reviews from our home cooks
This was pretty good, but the dressing was too acidic and tart for me and there was too much arugula and to me, arugula tastes bitter. Therefore, I did not finish eating the salad and the dressing looked moldy after a few days in the fridge. I did not mix all of the vegetables into the dressing at once. I put dressing on it one day at a time because it took a few days to eat it.
Very good! A nice, flavorful summer dinner that doesn't require standing over a hot stove (bonus!). With the mozzarella cheese added, it's healthy and satisfying. I liked the mix of tomatoes. I added my own romano cheese for a little sumthin extra. I do wish there were more croutons, though. Even with 2 kits combined, I felt like it was light on the croutons. But overall, I really liked this and I'd get it again.
Excellent we all loved the salad and it makes enough for 4 we buy meals for 2 and fed 3
It was good liked the dressing and mozzarella, feel like there could have been a few more tomatoes for how much salad you end up getting which is a good amount! Definitely worth the buy
There were 8 small croutons for two people and ten small tomatoes. We had to add veg to make a meal
Very good. But could have used more lettuce less arugula
Split this into two bowls and took it to work for lunch. Amazing.
Shared with a friend over a movie night. And had a small pizza to go with it. Perfect meal.
Was nothing special. Poor value for price. But quick easy meal in summer heat. Maybe add at least one mini baguette.
Was missing the croutons and vinegar but I was able to supplement
