Hola, Jake:

*Are these good examples for sentences? Based off the word bank? I need five.*
There are several mistakes in your sentences. Let's see:
1. El camarero recomendar✘ el✘ ensalada.

NOTES:
a. You forgot to conjugate the verb in this sentence:
• SUBJECT: El camarero (= él) → 3rd person singular verb = recomIENDA (present tense)
b. Pay attention to article-noun agreement:
• ensalada: FEMININE singular noun → It requires a FEMININE singular definite article: LA

Then:
1. El camarero recomIENDA LA ensalada.
BETTER:
1. El camarero ME recomIENDA LA ensalada.
1. El camarero NOS recomIENDA LA ensalada.
(When you use the verb 'recomendar', remember to include the indirect object.)

-----------------------------

2. [Me no]✘ gusta el✘ carne.

NOTES:
a. There is a mistake in word order. When you write a negative sentence, the negative adverb 'no' is always BEFORE the main verb: NO me gusta ....
b. Again, ther is a problem with article-noun agreement:
• carne: FEMININE singular noun → It requires a FEMININE singular definite article: LA

Then:
2. NO me gusta LA carne.
-----------------------------

3. Me✘ preferir✘ un sandwich
