I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers. It was still very flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't look anything like the picture. It was still good, but not as visually appealing.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. It was still tasty, but not as good as I was hoping for.
