I found this salad to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less jalapeños.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe. I used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and added some chopped avocado. It was still delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this salad was surprisingly mild. The cilantro and lime really helped to mellow out the heat.
