Swap out the veggies
If you have extra veggies in the fridge that need to be used, you can totally switch up this salad.
Replace the cucumber with some sauteed zucchini or add in some chopped grilled asparagus.
Replace the jalapeno with bell peppers for a milder, sweeter crunch or give it more of a Mediterranean vibe with oregano instead of cumin and some feta!
