Kickin' Cucumber Salad

The addition of bright and fiery Calabrian Chili Peppers to this cool and creamy, summery salad kicks it up a notch and makes your taste buds do a happy dance! These tiny peppers provide the perfect amount of heat to just make you notice. You can add more chiles if you like it really spicy, or if you can’t take the heat, leave them out (but that would be sad, lol).
