Petunjuk

Gently smash cucumbers with a rolling pin or the back of a heavy knife just to break open. Tear into irregular 2" pieces and place in a medium bowl; season lightly with salt. Let sit at least 5 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Meanwhile, whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, and ¼ tsp. celery salt in a medium bowl to combine; season dressing with salt.

Drain cucumbers, discarding any liquid they have released. Add to bowl with dressing and toss several times to coat. Sprinkle with more celery salt. Read More: The 29 New Essential Recipes from the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen
