I did use but 1/2 of a jalapeno & made the sandwiches with slices of a nutty, whole grain bread that we enjoy so much, but other than those changes, your recipe was followed right on down & made for a wonderful combo of salad & sandwich for lunch! Definitely a great keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar tag]
