    I must try you marinade soon; just realized I’ve never eaten cucumber and peppers in the same dish before….pretty strange I know.
    Also I’m part of a team that organizes a foodie roundup event every 2 weeks on a given theme and would love if you would participate. The current theme is springtime salads. What do you say?
