Gingery Smashed Cucumber Salad (Asian-Inspired) | Minimalist Baker Recipes

Fresh, crunchy smashed cucumber salad with ginger, sesame, and other Asian-inspired flavors. Just 1 bowl, 10 ingredients, and 10 minutes required for this versatile side! Full Recipe: https://minimalistbaker.com/gingery-smashed-cucumber-salad-asian-inspired/ This smashed cucumber salad is similar to pai huang gua, a Chinese cucumber salad featuring a garlicky sesame-soy-vinegar dressing and chili crisp and/or chili oil topping. Our inspired version is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, swaps the chili oil for chili flakes, and also draws influence from Japanese cuisine with the inclusion of pickled ginger for a sweet, tangy addition.
