Smashed Cucumbers
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Cut the ends off and slice them in half lengthwise, then into thick half-moons.
Smash the Cucumbers
Place the cucumber pieces on a cutting board and gently smash them with the flat side of a knife or a meat mallet to break down their structure.
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the smashed cucumbers, chopped candy onions, salsa verde, buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Chill and Serve
Let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh dill if desired.
