SMASHED CUCUMBER SALAD
By crushing our cucumber before we cut it, we produce flavors that un-smashed cukes can't. When you crush the cells in a vegetable, as opposed to cutting cleanly through them, certain compounds get mixed together, which can result in a significantly different flavor. In cucumbers this is a good thing--onions, not so much. But this salad is one of my all-time favorite cold summer side dishes. The only decision you're going to have to make is how long to let the cucumbers marinate--half an hour or so or not at all.

Steps:
- Wrap each cucumber in plastic wrap to minimize splattering. Place on a work surface and pound with a flat object (like a meat pounder) until cucumbers crack and are slightly flattened. Remove from plastic. Cut cucumbers in half; halve each side lengthwise. Slice into 1- to 1 1/2 -inch wide slices. Transfer to a strainer set over a bowl.
- Sprinkle cucumber with sugar and salt; mix until well combined. Refrigerate bowl and strainer for 30 to 60 minutes so cucumber pieces can drain into the bowl.
- Place garlic, seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Whisk together thoroughly.
- Transfer drained cucumbers into bowl with dressing. Toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to mingle.
- Place cucumbers in serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

SIMPLE PONZU SALAD DRESSING
This dressing has a slight Asian taste with the honey and ponzu, but not sweet. The garlic gives it that kick! This would make a great dressing for a bold green salad with spinach and kale.

- Cucumbers ... It is best to use the seedless cucumber if possible, but a 'regular' cucumber works just as well. But, make sure to peel, lightly seed by cutting in half lengthwise and then running a spoon down the center to get remove the seeds. Then cut in half moons. If using a seedless cucumber 1 large cucumber should be plenty. Very lightly salt the cucumber slices and set on a paper towel to drain.
- Dressing ... In a serving bowl, add the shallot, ponzu sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and ginger and mix well. If you like a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be added, I enjoy the spice, but it isn't necessary.
- NOTE ... A little info on Ponzu. 'Ponzu' is a term for a mix of fruit flavors made with rice wine vinegar, mirin, seaweed, and other Japanese ingredients; which is light in color (almost a pale yellow). Now, 'Ponzu Sauce' is the Ponzu liquid mixed with soy sauce to create 'Ponzu Sauce.' So, when shopping for it, know the difference. Most grocery stores carry 'Ponzu Sauce' which is what you want. But Asain markets will carry both Ponzu, and Ponzu Sauce, also called Ponzu Shoyu (which means Ponzu mixed with soy sauce). The Kikkoman Lime, is a basic Ponzu Sauce with a little added limed juice.
- Finish and Serve ... Once the cucumbers have drained/or dried 10-15 minutes, add to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine. Season with pepper to taste. Serve and ENJOY! It is a nice light salad for the warm summer nights. Best served chilled.
