Cucumber Salad with Jalapeño Peppers

Sweet and tangy with heat

This salad was a hit. I wanted to make it with cucumbers with red onions, but I was out of the onions. So I looked into the fridge to see what I could use and found a jar of pickled banana peppers and a jar of pickled jalapeño peppers. I thought, hmm, this could work.... Put some fennel seeds in the vinegar and set aside for a few minutes to infuse it with the nice aroma. Toss it with some feta cheese and you are good to go.

4-5 radish
1 Tbsp pickled jalapeño peppers with some pickling juice
1 Tbsp pickled banana peppers with some pickling juice
Feta cheese, however much you like
1/2 tsp fennel seeds

It would make a good side for your fried foods or grilled meats.
