Servings: 2  Prep Time: 10 min  Cook Time: 0 min

This salad is crisp, bright, and full of contrast. Cool cucumbers are smashed and tossed in a tangy soy–vinegar dressing, then finished with toasted sesame and a bold spoon of Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp. Light, refreshing, and deeply addictive in every bite.
