Smashed Cucumbers image

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...
