Smashed Cucumbers image

Saw this in the LA Times Food & Drink section. Thought it sounded awesome & am stashing for when the second crop of cukes come in. My first crop of Burpee Dual-Purpose cucumbers was brief but awesome until TS Cristobal brought the dreaded summer flush of pickle worms through. Replanting now so more cukes in 5 weeks!

These smashed cucumbers were a hit at my last party! They're so easy to make and so refreshing. I love the combination of the crunchy cucumbers, the creamy yogurt, and the tangy dressing.
