Smashed Cucumber Salad

Yum! Tried this recently and will definitely be making it again. Very tasty and refreshing. I reduced the garlic a bit - I only used 2 small cloves. We had quite a bit left, so the next day I poured it over a block of silken tofu for a light lunch. Delish! Thanks again, PUL. Champions! 🙌🏼

Yayy! So glad that the smashed cucumber salad was enjoyed, Marnie 🫶

Very garlicky

This is phenomenal! So easy to make and delicious as always!

I try this recipes but unfortunally it's not my Cup of tea!
The idea and the recipes is perfect, maybe im'not very confident with chinese salad 💕💕💕

I loved this! The Farmers market was overflowing with cucumber this summer so having a quick and tasty salad to use them for was perfect. Very refreshing and very flavorful, and super easy to put together.

Ooo so glad that the cucumber salad was enjoyed, Hannah! Thank you 🤗

I absolutely loved this salad! The flavours are so vibrant and fresh. It's super easy to throw together and has a great crunch that makes it really satisfying. This salad is definitely going to be a regular in my kitchen!

We had it as part of dinner last night, and really enjoyed it. This is definitely going to be on the warm weather menu rotation.

Cucumbers aren’t my favorite, but this was delicious! I added thinly sliced sweet snack peppers and ate it as a side salad with the yakisoba.

Hey Alexis, so glad that the salad was enjoyed! Smashing the cucumber helps it absorb all the delicious flavours of the dressing 🙌

It is so good!
The smell and taste is amazing.
We ended up making some rice to get the dressing 🤩

Quick, easy and very tasty.
Perfect when the weather gets warm in summer ☀️

So refreshing! I mixed it with some leftover rice noodles and carrot strips that I had and it was simple wonderful.

I love it so much!! So yummy :) I made half the original portion and I basically ate it all at once haha. Unfortunately my partner didn’t love, saying there’s a weird aftertaste that he assumed might be the cilantro…

Was planning on just omitting it next time I make it (cuz I definitely will be) but maybe there’s something I can substitute in instead?

Hi Alba, so glad that the smashed cucumber salad was enjoyed. Indeed, cilantro can have a taste that some people don't love. You can omit the cilantro and try substituting it with fresh parsley or basil for a different flavour 😊
