Best Scraped Cucumber Recipes
SMASHED CUCUMBERS
I had smashed cucumbers last year for the first time...they were awesome. Smashing the cucumbers results in the cucumber absorbing more of the delicious dressing. Smash your cucumber with a big pestle or use a heavy cast iron pot.. I like them to be rugged and coarsely crushed. This recipe is quick and easy to make with...

A Laotian recipe shared with me by a dear friend of mine. So easy and refreshing. It reminds me of cold watermelon on a hot day.
