Yoon Yi-ryeon's Smashed Cucumber Salad

A crunchy salad made by smashing cucumbers with a mallet, salting and sugaring them to draw out moisture, then tossing with a savory peanut butter and mayonnaise dressing. Adding crab sticks and leafy greens makes it a satisfying one-dish meal.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Smashing the cucumbers instead of slicing them smoothly creates rough surfaces that absorb the dressing much better.
  • Be sure to squeeze out the moisture during the pickling step so the salad stays crunchy without becoming watery over time.
  • If you don't have peanut butter, you can use coarsely crushed roasted peanuts or grind plenty of whole sesame seeds for a nutty flavor.
  • Using a store-bought mayonnaise salad dressing makes it even easier to prepare.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a cool, refreshing dish to stimulate the appetite in summer.
  • Those who want a filling one-dish meal without rice.
  • Those who want to try a unique, foolproof cucumber dish.
