From the Test Kitchen
- Note *Because chile peppers, such as jalapenos, contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, wear plastic or rubber gloves when working with them. If bare hands touch the chile peppers, immediately wash them well with soap and water.

I made this salad and was leery at first. However, everyone that I had over for dinner absolutely loved it! It was a huge hit! I didn't add any cilantro or fresh herbs to the dressing, just added the cilantro directly to the salad. I used a jalapeno for the dressind and I also used kiwi like the recipe called for. Definitely a keeper! Mmm...mmm... ;)
