Smashed Cucumber Salad with Feta, Sumac and Tender Herbs

We love a gorgeous salad that tastes just as good.

This Greek-style smashed cucumber salad fits the culinary and visual bill: it looks and tastes amazing. The smashing of the cucumbers allows for extra nooks and crannies for the citrusy dressing to get stuck into. Top tip: use a high-quality sheep or goat milk feta for the best possible flavors.

Difficulty: Easy

Overall Time: 15 min

Prep Time: 15 min

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh Meyer lemon juice

1 tsp honey

¼ tsp sumac

¼ tsp ground allspice

¼ cup toasted sliced almonds

¼ cup mint leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk oil with lemon juice, honey, sumac, allspice, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise. Smash with the back of a heavy knife just to break open. Roughly slice into 1-in thick pieces on the bias. Add to oil-mixture, tossing to fully coat.

Transfer cucumbers to a large platter, then tear feta slices overtop. Sprinkle with almonds, then top with mint and dill. Serve immediately.
