Spicy Summer Salad
3 large or 6 Persian cucumbers
half a red onion, thinly sliced
salt
sugar
a heaping spoonful of Sichuan Chili Crisp
a heaping spoonful of Chengdu Crunch
a heaping spoonful of Crunchy Garlic with Chili Oil
a few glugs of rice vinegar
1 small seedless watermelon, large-diced
3 ripe tomatoes, large-diced
Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then smash them with the side of a knife. Chop them into "bite-sized" pieces. Place them in a large strainer set over a bowl along with the onions, and sprinkle them with salt and a small amount of sugar, and toss them together. Let them sit and drain for about 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the chili crisp, chengdu crunch, crunchy garlic and rice vinegar. Season it to taste with more salt and sugar.
Once the cucumbers are ready, add them to the bowl with the dressing and add the watermelon and tomatoes. Toss them until well combined, then season to taste with more of any of the ingredients, to taste. Serve immediately.

This is the combination of two fantastic hot day salads and there is no reason it should not work, spicy watermelon and tomato both are already fantastic so I have to try this.

[@dontpanicpantry]

Let me know how it goes!

[@groverrrrr89]

Nice! Will add to the list of things to make this month. May add feta, too much?

[@dontpanicpantry]

Give it a try and let me know!

I love inventing recipes like this but I hate the look people give me when they ask for the recipe and I have to tell them that I just put a bunch of stuff from my pantry in a bowl until it tasted good. It's like they think I'm gatekeeping the recipe when there was never a recipe at all. It sucks for me too cause I'll never be able to make it exactly the same ever again.

[@dontpanicpantry]

Yeah recipes are annoying and hard and require testing and development.

The best part of a cucumber tastes like the worst part of a watermelon. I like both things, but I can't pretend that anything else is true.

[@dontpanicpantry]

Hahaha.
