I adopted this recipe after Mean Chef (IHHDRO) left the site. The comments from my original review stated, " This salad is an excellent blend of flavors. I used a diced red pepper instead of the red jalapeno and upped the cayenne just a bit in order to balance out the heat. It was fabulous. This is a wonderful summer side dish." This is great for cookouts or just simple summer meals. We love this salad.

Gorgeous, thank you! I brought this to a raw food potluck tonight and it was just perfect! I used red pepper as red jalapeno was unavailable today, but I will try it next with the heat.

    Really good flavor--added a bit extra cayenne to turn up the heat. My boyfriend's new favorite dish!

    A refeshing salad. I think it tastes so much better once it sits for 1 hour before you serve. A keeper for sure.

    5 star all the way. Great color presentation and the different shapes of the ingredients add to the eye appeal. Taste appeat? I wish you could have seen this salad disappear. I served it withFragrant Lamb Stew with Dried Fruits Fragrant Lamb Stew with dried fruits, rice steamed carrots & steamed Brussels Sprouts. The salad was so refreshing and even with the jalapeno & chili flakes was not hot. I used hot ground chili in place of the ground red pepper. I could not get red Jalapeno so used green finely chopped. Thanks Meanchef for a great salad recipe.
