Xi'an's Famous Foods Chinese Smashed Cucumber Salad is one of my favorite dishes in the whole world. It's crisp, bright, spicy and full of flavor -- basically the perfect easy side dish of all time! Disclaimer: I have no idea if this is how they make it but I've tried to recreate it for years and this is the closest I've ever gotten!
**I recommend starting with 1 tablespoon of the chili oil and then adding another after tasting because depending on the brand, sometimes it’s super spicy and sometimes it’s not.**
