Sichuan Smashed Cucumber Salad Best Cucumber Salad Recipe

Now here’s the thing. Once you make the dressing for this easy cucumber salad recipe: you can use it over noodles, as a dipping sauce, or for a quick sip of goodness when no one is looking–not that I would ever do such a thing. I love Sichuan Cuisine as a rule. The combo of fresh herbs and hot tingling spices is just perfect, as far as I’m concerned. Note that my recipe is a little different in that I have added a Chili Crisp Oil to this. If you haven’t had Chili Crisp oil, you are totally missing out in life, my friend, totally missing out. A little chili crisp oil on noodles? Heaven! But I digress. What’s more, I need to give you an alternative for it, in case you don’t have it. Your options are either crushed Sichuan peppercorns or in a pinch, red pepper flakes (the kind that come with your pizza. Yup. That simple.)

How To Make Cucumber Salad

Can Cucumber Salad Be Made Ahead?

Yes, it absolutely can be. Actually, I would highly recommend you make this Smashed Cucumber Salad beforehand. If you do so, it gives the flavors of the dressing and the cucumbers time to mesh together to create a delicious bite.

Is Cucumber Salad Keto?

This simple cucumber salad recipe is Keto. However, you will find others that are not because of the sweeteners that can be added to them. So be careful not to make it an all-encompassing statement.
