I TRIED IT THE WAY RECIPE SAID THE FIRST TIME MINUS THE JALAPENOS. THEN I TRIED IT WITH THE LIME JUICE, CILANTRO, BASIL, ORANGE JUICE, DICED TOMATOES, AND CUCUMBERS ALONG WITH THE OTHER INGREDIENTS THAT WAS LISTED MINUS THE JALAPENOS. I DO NOT LIKE JALAPENOS. I ALSO ADDED EXTRA PEACHES TO IT. I TRIED IT BOTH WAYS AND BOTH WAYS WERE GOOD. TRY IT VARIOUS DIFFERENT WAYS TO FIND THE ONE THAT YOU LIKE BEST. IT HAD THAT SWEET FLAVOR WITH SOME HEAT TO IT WITH THE VARIATION THAT I DID ABOVE MINUS THE JALAPENOS.

  Black pepper or bell peppers? A dash of black pepper or 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers should work. Enjoy!
