My Husband Loathes Mayo. so i try to make summer salads that he will enjoy with the rst of us. This salad was a huge hit although reading the other revues i heeded there advise and only used 1 sarrano pepper and one pickeling cucumber, and as well as others i couldnt find panela cheese so i used a mexican blend shredded cheese. it was a tasty treat.. everyone really loved it, and with what was left i made a cucumber salad it to was a hit.

We were planning on serving this salad as part of a Fiesta Buffet. Made it last night to make sure it was really as good as the reviews . What a disappointment. I was able to find the Panela Cheese and followed the recipe to the tee. It seemed hard to get a bite of the salad with a little of all the ingredients.The penne really stood out and the cucumber over powered the other ingredients . The dressing was just ok . Not good enough to serve next to our homemade tamales . Wouldn't make again .

This is a wonderful recipe. Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain the Panela cheese or the fresh oregano (small town grocers don't stock many fresh herbs. So, for the cheese I substituted a mixture of mozzarella and shredded swiss, and I used 2 teaspoons of dried oregano for the fresh. I only added about a tablespoon of capers, and I also used quartered cherry tomatoes in place of the Romas. It turned out wonderfully. I give it 4 stars (would be 4.5 because the Serrano peppers made it a bit too spicy for everyone's tastes. Next time, I will add only 1 and see how that works out.

Took this to a party. Everyone liked it. Had a hard time finding the panela cheese, but replaced with another Mexican cheese. Would use fewer capers next time.

I love this salad. I use pickled Jalepeno when I can't get fresh.
