Served this at a party and got several requests for the recipe. I did not use as much romaine as the recipe calls for, and I omitted the jalapeno for personal tastes. This will be a regular item when I have vegetarians over as it can stand up as a main dish.

Loved this. Forgot to add the lettuce, but it was still delicious without.

My husband and I loved this recipe! I used fresh peaches instead of apricots. The combination of sweet and heat is really good.
