Our hot tropical summer demands a cool & refreshing salad to start our every meal and this smashed cucumber salad is just the perfect one to fit in! Plus it gives us the much needed spicy kick that we Indians always crave for!

Since the time I have started my lifelong fitness journey, I don't remember a single meal that I have started without a large bowl of fresh salad! Whatever season it may be!

And now it has been a default part of our daily meals!

On regular days, we start our meals with a generous serving of freshly cut cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot and whatever other seasonal salad we can source.

Then on a fine day I stumbled upon this unique cucumber salad which the internet was going nuts over! Smashed cucumber salad!

A smashed salad? Really? Am I reading it right?

Well it turned out that I was reading it right and therefore was no way other than trying it myself and see why it is going so viral!

What is smashed cucumber salad?

I am sure you have seen multiple viral videos of smashed cucumber salad on various platforms, so I guess I do not need to explicitly describe what this salad actually means!

If you haven't seen it, you can check out my video of this viral salad here or below!

I don’t know how this trend started or who got the idea of smashing the cucumbers before tossing them in that incredible chilli oil dressing.

But whoever brought this into existence, we must thank them for their innovation!

The cracks created due to the smashing absorb the spicy salad dressing beautifully making the salad taste insanely addictive!

And that’s what has made this salad viral; I am completely ignoring the weird satisfaction we get from smashing the cucumbers!

You must try this at least once to get a taste of this smashed magic!

SALAD: A healthy food, for a wealthy mood!

Corn Salad ?is a perfect summer dish for picnics or BBQs. A simple, easy to make, deliciously irresistible salad. Its an amazing combination of corn, cucumber, apple, carrot, sprouted moong bean and a special dressing to make it refreshing and flavorful. This combination of fruits-veggies makes one healthy-nutritious side-dish and I bet one cannot resist after one bit. This definitely is a crowd-pleasing salad for parties or potlucks, that would disappear fast!

Corn Salad is packed full of nutritious ingredients. The main ingredient for this salad is SWEET CORN – a grain that is super rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Corn is an excellent addition to a healthy diet.  

Should I use fresh or frozen corn for this salad?

Both work great! Use any as per availability for the season. 

If using fresh corn cob?, make sure to remove husks and silky threads. Boil in a large pot of water for about 10-12 mins. remove corn kernels from the cob using a knife or corn stripper. Fresh corn is ready to use for salad.

If using frozen corn, add the frozen corn to a microwave-safe bowl and add very little water and microwave for 1-2 mins. Increase the time based on the quantity of corn. Strain water and frozen corn is ready to use for salad.

Next addition is a fruit that keeps the doctor away. Yes, it is APPLE! ? Tastes delicious as a stand-alone snack or works great in salads, pies, smoothies, and salsas, too. Apples rarely disappoint. Finely chop and add to your salad(do not peel). Every part of the apple is edible and nutritious. Wash the apple thoroughly before using, to remove the wax coating. I usually keep the skin on for apple because peeling can remove most of the fruit’s fiber, vitamin C and iron so try to consume this juicy delight with the skin on. 

Another addition is CUCUMBERS ?that are low in calories but high in many important vitamins and minerals. The crunchy cucumber is the best summer coolers in this salad, keeps you hydrated and makes the salad so refreshingly good. 

You all are aware of how good a CARROT ?is for eye health. It not only adds a distinct taste and bright color to salad and also gives a sweet mild flavor to the salad. Grate and add carrot as needed for your salad.

Not to forget MUNG BEANS in this salad, that are a high source of nutrients, full of protein to help you keep fuller for longer. They have crisp flavor when sprouted and also sprouted grains are claimed to be higher in nutrients and more easily digestible than unsprouted varieties. I always make sprouted grains every week and store in the refrigerator, to use in curries and salads.

If you would like to know how to sprout grains check out HOW TO SPROUT GRAINS. The same procedure works pretty well for mung beans too. Adding sprouted grain to this salad makes it more nutritious and healthy salad.

Dress your salad with good taste! 

The key ingredient is the simple, flavorful dressing with olive oil, lime juice salt, and pepper. This salad is a pack of flavors (salt, sour, sweet, hot) to soothe your taste buds.
