Quick-pickled Spicy Cucumbers
These cucumbers give the perfect spicy, tangy kick to your palate. I love the fusion of flavors and you can pick your desired spice level - which is always a bonus. I like to munch on these as a snack and also like to use them as a garnish on rich dishes like salmon and chicken.
