This fresh and vibrant salad is exactly what you need on a hot summer’s day. In this video, the Food & Wine team shows you how to make a crushed cucumber salad with an acidic and delicious dressing. The smashed cucumber slices absorb an abundance of flavor from the spicy jalapeño-tomatillo dressing while also retaining a crunchy, not soggy, texture. Top with pepitas and queso fresco before serving.
