Made this smashed cucumber salad today—so fresh and flavorful! The cucumbers stayed crisp, and the tangy, spicy dressing was perfect. Really quick and easy for a refreshing side dish.

So, so, so good! This is my new go-to recipe!! It instantly transported me back to my time in Asia 🥰 I added a wee bit of grated ginger (personal taste preference) and it was next-level. Thank you SO much for this recipe!

So glad to hear this one’s been your favorite! Love the meat mallet hack and the chili crunch + Sichuan pepper combo. Sounds delicious. Hope you find Chinese cucumbers next time!

I only had basic American non-conforming cucumbers (but very fresh from farmers market) and was worried they would not have enough crunch after sitting a day or two, but they were only better on day 2 & 3 after marinating and still plenty crunchy YUM. The freshness of the cuc's is a big factor I think, I'm going to keep an eye out for the Chinese cucumbers at my Asian market.]]> 5 stars
