Our family just loved this salad, even my ranch hating husband! I used thai chili peppers because that is what i had on hand and real bacon bits instead of bacon and I used made from package buttermilk ranch dressing. It was goooood, thank you!

Fantastic salad, just perfect for the hot summer days. I was very sparing with the jalapeno, used about six sliced ones, but chopped them up. Only change I used sliced black olives, I like them better than the chopped ones. Thanks for a great recipe!

This salad was different, but delicious! Like other reviewers, I cut way down on the dressing. I used real bacon bits since I didn't have any bacon and about 1/4 c. of minced onion because I didn't have green onions. I made it with 1 jalapeno, but next time would definitely use 2.
