A year ago I never would have believed jalapenos would frequent my kitchen. I was a wimp for spicy foods and and considered even mild salsa too hot. Somewhere along the way I ventured past my Minnesota roots and started trying recipes with jalapenos and other spicy ingredients. This opened a whole new realm of possibilities to excite my palate. Fortunately for me, my family isn't too sold on the idea, so I had this flavor-packed salad all to myself.
