This smashed cucumber salad is one of my all-time favorite cold summer side dishes. By crushing our cucumber before we cut it, we produce flavors that un-smashed cukes can’t. When you crush the cells in a vegetable, as opposed to cutting cleanly through them, certain compounds get mixed together, which can result in a significantly different flavor. In cucumbers, this is a good thing — onions, not so much. The only decision you’re going to have to make is how long to let the cucumbers marinate — half an hour or so or not at all.
The Allure of Asian Cucumber Salad: Asian Cucumber Salad offers a refreshing escape with its crisp cucumber slices, tangy rice vinegar dressing, and aromatic sesame seeds. This salad is not only a feast for the senses but also a celebration of simplicity and balance in Asian culinary traditions. Its light and refreshing flavors make it an ideal accompaniment to rich and spicy dishes, providing a cool contrast that complements a wide range of flavors and textures.
