Why waste time with a knife? A simple whack to a cucumber yields jagged surfaces eager to soak up this tangy dressing.
Ingredients
4 Servings
Step 1
Gently smack 1 pound Persian or English hothouse cucumbers with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pot until they begin to break apart. Tear into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a colander; toss with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Let sit 10 minutes to drain excess liquid.
Step 2
Transfer cucumbers to a medium bowl and toss with 3 sliced scallions, 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt. Drizzle with chili oil.

Back to TopSuper easy and Uber delicious! I'm not a fan of sesame seeds but I love sesame oil so I used a little bit of toasted sesame oil in place of the sesame seeds. I also stirred in a couple of tablespoons of sambal oolek... We like things spicy! I've made this several times and I'm making it again tonight!
