This spicy pepper and cucumber relish is delicious, especially for anyone who likes a bit of spice in their meal!
This relish goes perfectly on a burger, with chips or in a salad. It takes a while to make this recipe as you will need to soak the vegetables for at least 8 hours. But this works perfectly if you have it planned for a dinner or barbecue, as you can make it in advance.
Check out our bread page; this relish on some toasted bread would be delicious!
I love the flavour of the cucumber mixed with the pepper. Before making this recipe I was skeptical about the cucumber flavour being noticable, but it is a great addition to this recipe.
For anyone who doesn't like a lot of spice in there relish half the amount of chilli flakes to keep the taste but lessen the spice.

Though cucumbers are often thought of as a vegetable they are actually a fruit.
Cucumbers are high in nutrients , antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.
They are great for hydration and aiding in weight loss; cucumbers are low in calories & contain a good amount of water and soluble fiber.
