Smacked Cucumber Salad is a refreshing side dish that takes no time to prepare. Similar to the Cucumber with Sesame Seeds recipe, we smack the cucumber with a rolling pin before tossing with the dressing. In this recipe, some crushed red pepper flakes and grated ginger are added for a kick. You can adjust the spiciness to your liking. This is a quick and easy side dish to serve with any Japanese dishes.
