Jalapeños give this salad a nice light kick. If you like it spicier, use any type hot pepper you choose.

1 large green pepper, seeded and chopped
2 Jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped*

Beginner's Ceviche
I developed this recipe after watching my friend Elva Ramirez prepare a huge pan of ceviche for a fiesta at her house. Elva makes her ceviche with already cooked shrimp, so there are no worries serving it any time of the day or even for leftovers, should you be so lucky, the next day.

My husband grew up in Michigan and his mother was originally from the hills of Kentucky. I first had Chocolate Gravy one winter when she was visiting. Growing up in the South, too, I was surprised that I had never had it nor even heard about it. Anyway it was rich and delicious and she served it over hot, flaky biscuits.
My husband told me that when he and his cousin were running cross country in high school, before each Saturday race, his mother would make them biscuits and chocolate gravy. Now thanks to Cheap. Fast. Good! I am preparing your version of biscuits and chocolate gravy. Except now instead of heading to a cross country race we will be headed to our son's swim meet. Thanks for helping me carry on a family tradition.
