Note: You can use fresh, pickled or roasted jalapenos; I like to use a combination! You can slice, dice or chop them!
Note: The spicy heat of theis salad is directly controlled by the jalapenos. If you like it mild, use less, if you like it hot, use more!
Option: Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
Option: Add 1 tablespoon jalapeno pickle juice, from the jar of pickled jalapenos.
