Those whose preferences lean toward the spicy will love this salad. Adjust the heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of jalapeño and chipotle chile.

I make this recipe regularly Yesterday I added lime zest of 1/2 a lime plus the juice of 2 limes. (left over from making Key Lime Pie). My family declared it the best ever and exceptionally good. The consensus was to add the zest every time.

Light, refreshing, and a little zing. Used frozen corn as a time saver & roasted red pepper since we didn't have a fresh one on hand. Nice alternative to mayo based potato salads. Served as a side with Real Simple's Cheddar Turkey Burgers with Mashed Avocado and it was a perfect compliment.

Easy to make, great flavors & colors. It's the winter, so subbed frozen corn for fresh, all else prepped to recipe. Great side to CL's pulled pork.

I made this great salad a few years ago and forgot how wonderful it was until I made it again for a party this weekend. The flavors all work so perfectly together. It's easy and pretty quick to throw together. We like heat so I used 3 chipotle chiles, plus an extra teaspoon of adobo sauce, and one huge jalapeno. It's delicious!

This is fabulous!! Definitely has little "bite", but I used 2 chopped chiles instead of one. Only change was added 1 tsp. cumin which we really thought added to flavor. Served with BBQ chicken. Would be GREAT side for burgers. Definitely will make again.
