For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper. Consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra layer of depth. Fresh mint or cilantro can provide a refreshing counterpoint to the heat. Serve chilled alongside grilled meats, or as a zesty side dish at your next barbecue. For best results, prepare the salad a day in advance to allow the flavors to fully develop.
