Homestyle Cucumber Salad with Garlic

This is simplicity itself and SO GOOD! It’s similar to the famous Chinese Smashed Cucumbers but quicker and easier. My hydroponic cucumber was in a super-cold spot in the vegetable drawer so it was frozen at one end. I used it anyway and it was surprisingly good. The recipe requires a 20-minute chill in the fridge, which I used to set the table and put the finishing touches on other side dishes. I will make this again!
