This is a great, healthy side or main dish! I had a cucumber on hand and some cauliflower from dinner last night, and this was the perfect recipe to use both. The only things I did different were to use peperonici's and no dill. The peppers weren't as spicy as jalapenos, but they had enough of a kick that i think is great in this recipe. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks, Bergy!
