How to Make Chef John’s Smashed Cucumber Salad
this is shockingly delicious and all thanks to a little bit of Smashing and in case you’re wondering the reason we smash the Cucumbers is three-fold okay we’re doing it for appearance and texture but most importantly we’re doing it for flavor since believe it or not if we smash our cucumber before we cut it it will actually have a different and what many people consider a better flavor than if we didn’t the flavors here are so bright and fresh and vibrant and addictive it’s actually hard to eat slow unless of course you’re using chopsticks
