Hand-smashed cucumber

Smashed cucumber pieces soak up a punchy dressing built on salted plum, lemon, garlic and cilantro, giving a crisp, sour-salty salad that whets the appetite.

    Wash the cucumber, break it into two pieces by hand, put it in a storage bag, and smash it with the back of a knife. This way, the cucumber juice won't splash everywhere.

    Put it in a bowl, add a little salt and marinate for a moment. This step is to keep it crispy when marinating later.
