This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I used walnuts instead. It was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It turned out great!

I love the balance of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the piquillo peppers pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the almonds and the spiciness of the greens.
