I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this salad to be a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less jalapenos next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much mayonnaise.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then eat it for lunch throughout the week.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also very versatile. I've added black beans, corn, and avocado to it before, and it's always delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I still enjoyed this salad. The jalapenos add just a hint of heat, and the cilantro really brightens up the flavor.

I made this salad for my friends last night and it was a hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination. I'll definitely be making it again.

I'm a huge fan of spicy food, and this salad definitely delivers. The jalapenos pack a punch, but they don't overpower the other ingredients. It's a great salad for a summer cookout or potluck.
