I love Cilantro and thought this recipe was easy and delicious. Of course you have to watch and alter the amount of Jalapeno peppers you use based on their size and your preference. I also added a little chopped red pepper for color. This is a keeper recipe. :-)

So fresh tasting -- probably the cilantro. I added some black beans as suggested by one of the reviewers. Also, used an Anaheim chili pepper and salsa instead of the jalapenos.

I've made this recipe dozens of times for family, friends and coworkers and everyone always LOVES IT. I don't always add all the recommended jalapenos b/c that can get a little too spicy. A coworker informed me that she added black beans to the recipe to add in fiber & protein, so I tried it too and thought it was good.

The cilantro really made this dish excellent. I needed a dish to pass when camping with friends so I made it a day ahead. The flavors had time to infuse. I did not add the jalapenos because I didn't know the others hot tolerance was and I'm glad I didn't. It was perfect without them.

I used red peppers instead of green (for color) and substituted two poblano peppers for the 6 jalapenos. Everyone loved this salad! It is very easy and inexpensive to make.

I made this for a mexican food potluck our family was having. It travels well. I cut the jalapenos down to 1, six is just TOO MANY. I used red and orange bell peppers and served it in a clear glass bowl.It was so good that I didn;t even get any at the dinner. I'll definatly make this again. Good contrast to all the heavy/spicy foods .
