Smashed cucumber salad from The New Essentials Cookbook: A Modern Guide to Better Cooking (page 158) by America's Test Kitchen Editors

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Although this is one of the simpler smashed cucumber recipes out there, it’s also very delicious. After salting the smashed cukes for 15-30 minutes, a simple dressing is added. This went well with salmon and arugula salad. Will repeat this for sure.
