"Smashed cucumber is essentially what it sounds like, though less dramatic. The practice has an aim of loosening up the insides of a cucumber, creating semi-soft bites and multiple crevices for easily absorbing accompanying oils, spices, vinegars, sauces, or dressings."
"Using smashed cucumbers in salads and snacks, they most commonly appear in chilled Asian-style salads, typically bearing tart, tangy, or pickled characteristics."
