Smashed Cucumber Salad
Report
Crushing cucumbers creates more surface area for dressing to stick to, and my Smashed Cucumber Salad recipe uses this easy technique to make an umami-packed side salad that doubles as a quick pickle.

Ingredients
- 325 grams cucumber (3 Japanese cucumbers)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- chili flakes (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Trim both ends off 325 grams cucumber and then use a rolling pin or other heavy object to crush the cucumber into bite-size pieces.
- Toss the cucumber with ¼ teaspoon salt and let this sweat for about 10 minutes.
- Once the cucumber has released some water and becomes limp, use your hands to squeeze out any excess water and transfer it to a dry bowl.
- Add 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, and chili flakes, and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
