I was not sure about this at first but it was sooo yummy the dressing is delicious! I didn't use the jalapenos because i didn't have any and I used my tropical all seasoning instead.

Sooooo good! I didn't use the raw jalapenos or cilantro because my jalapeno plant isn't ready to harvest and i dont like cilantro. But I used a whole avocado and half a cucumber, and a little more dressing than in the recipe, and also used cajun seasoning bc I didn't know what old bay is. It is amazing.

Really fresh salad! Might reduce the olive oil in the dressing a bit but overall really good. Used feta cheese at the end.
