Ginger Smashed Cucumber Salad (Asian Inspired) | Minimalist Baking Recipes

This Asian-inspired version is super fresh crunchy savory a little spicy and packed with ginger and sesame flavor. And so EASY — just 10 ingredients 1 bowl and 10 minutes. We'll show you how!

This smashed cucumber salad is similar to pai huang gua a Chinese cucumber salad with a dressing of garlic sesame seeds soy sauce and chili crisp and/or chili oil.

Our inspired version is naturally sweetened with maple syrup replaces the chili oil with chili flakes and takes inspiration from Japanese cuisine by adding pickled ginger for a sweet and sour twist.
