    This is one of my favorite sides to eat during summer. I'm going to keep this recipe in mind when the nearby farm stand opens up. They always have amazing cucumbers that I can't get the same at any grocery store. I do have a really good Chinese black vinegar at home; I have found though that balsamic is a little closer in flavor, or if someone has both, maybe a 50/50 balsamic-apple cider blend. Black vinegar has a great flavor, and given that it has a near indefinite shelf life I would certainly encourage folks to get their hands on some, but not pass on this recipe if not!

    Thanks so much for this recipe! I can’t wait to try it with cucumbers from the summer farmer’s market. I can almost always find black vinegar at H Mart or other Asian supermarkets, sometimes it’s called Chinkiang vinegar. It is such an amazing flavor, I highly encourage anyone making this recipe to try to seek it out.

    I've made this salad and eaten it restaurants many times. Last week I had this salad last in a Chinese restaurant and they didn't smash it. I quickly realised that the reason for smashing it isn't only for the flavour to absorb into the cucumber better, but also so that one can grab it with chopsticks better. It was impossible without smashed edges!

    As Mandy said don’t mix until ready to eat. I’ve made mistake by preparing it early and eating much later. Cucumber will continue to release liquid so dressing gets diluted

      It is, really challenging to find safe alternative as for eating out what a nightmare when all you get told is seasonings been added.
