Smashing cucumbers for salad is an ancient Chinese technique used to create a variety of textures and surfaces to absorb the dressing better. I was inspired by this technique and decided to try it out with my Mediterranean touch. This was the most crunchy salad ever and the dressing, feta and sesame seeds really clung on to the cucumbers without sinking to the bottom of the bowl!

INGREDIENTS
2 English cucumbers
2 teaspoons salt, plus more as needed
1 small shallot, minced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon dried mint
½ teaspoon sumac
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the cucumbers on a cutting board and use a meat mallet or heavy flat object to pound the cucumbers until they smash and flatten slightly. Slice each cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice into 1 ½-inch thick slices and pound again.
Transfer the smashed sliced cucumbers to a strainer set over a bowl. Sprinkle the cucumber with salt and mix until well combined. Set for 30 minutes to allow the liquid to drain from the cucumber.
Meanwhile make the dressing by whisking together the shallot, lemon juice, olive oil, mint, sumac and black pepper in a serving bowl.
Use a paper towel to dab the cucumber dry. Transfer the dried cucumber on top of the dressing. Sprinkle the feta cheese and toasted sesame seeds on top.
