Notes
Peppers:
I've used a pepper out of our garden in the photo, but choose any pepper you like. Bell peppers lend a sweetness to the salad where poblanos or jalapenos will bring spicy heat.Seasoning:
My guys like a little extra kick in this salad. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for added zest.Nutrition
