Use a variety of peppers to add different flavors and textures to your salad. Some good options include bell peppers, jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros.
If you are using spicy peppers, be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before chopping them. This will help to reduce the heat of the salad.
Chop the peppers finely so that they are easy to eat.
Add other ingredients to your salad to complement the peppers. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, corn, and black beans.
Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette or salsa. You can also use a store-bought dressing if you are short on time.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
