Prova la ricetta fresca e piccante dell’insalata di cetrioli smashed con olio extravergine di oliva e peperoncino. Un contorno veloce, saporito e perfetto per l’estate! #InsalataEstiva #CetrioliSmashed #CucinaFresca #RicettaVeloce #SaporitoENaturale #ContornoPiccante #OlioEvoLovers #RicettaVegetariana Per un tocco asiatico, aggiungi un goccio di salsa di soia o di olio di sesamo tostato. Ottima anche con una spolverata di semi di sesamo o arachidi tritati. Puoi conservarla in frigo per qualche ora, ma è meglio gustarla entro la giornata per mantenere croccantezza.

Ingredients

Procedure

  • 0. Wash and dry the cucumbers. Place them on a cutting board and, using the bottom of a cup or a wide knife blade, gently squeeze them until they crack slightly. Then cut them into large, irregular pieces.
  • 1. Place the cucumbers in a colander, sprinkle with coarse salt, and let them sit for 15-20 minutes. This will help draw out excess water and concentrate the flavor.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine EVOO, chopped chili pepper (fresh or dried), crushed garlic (if using), vinegar or lemon juice, and sugar if you prefer a sweeter balance. Mix well.
  • 3. Rinse the cucumbers briefly to remove excess salt and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a bowl, pour the marinade over them, and mix well. Let them marinate for at least 10-15 minutes (or up to 30) before serving.
  • 4. Top with mint or coriander leaves for a fresh, aromatic contrast.
