You can hear "suave", but I simply say "no muy picante", or "que no pique" (not spicy at all).

Suave para una salsa no se aplica muy bien. No picante o poco picante es más usual. - gone, Jan 27, 2011

I agree with Lazarus:

I'd say too "no muy picante", or "que no pique" (not spicy at all).

Or I'd say, "con poco picante", "con poca salsa" (mild), or "sin picante" or "sin salsa" (not spicy at all). Example:

Me da una torta de jamón con poco picante, por favor.

Me da dos tacos de bistec, sin salsa.

The grades I have heard in México:

"Muy picoso" or " muy picante"

"Picoso" or "picante"

"Poco picoso" or "poco picante"

"Nada picante"

Sin chile.

"Blando" or "suave" could be used for food! I am a spice "chicken" so like sauces very blanda!

I have never used Blando. Do you think It fits? - Cabeza_215, Jan 27, 2011
Blando is the opposite of "hard". - lazarus1907, Jan 27, 2011
In my Websters Spanish English dictionary, it says it means "bland", but of course that doesn't mean it is the "popular" usage! Thanks for the note! - - NancyGrace, Jan 27, 2011
