Healthy Recipes Healthy Ingredient Recipes Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Cucumber Recipes Spicy Cucumber Salad with Chili Oil Be the first to rate & review! The cucumbers retain their crunch in this spicy cucumber salad with chili oil. Here we use chili crisp, an oil-based condiment with crispy bits of chili; it adds crunch, heat and flavor to the cooling cucumbers. Smashing the cucumbers helps them absorb the complex flavors of the dressing.
