Ingredients

• 2 English cucumbers, cut into thirds
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. ground pepper

Directions

1. Place cucumbers on a cutting board and cover with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Smash with a meat mallet or heavy pot until they start to break apart. Tear into bite-size pieces and place in a colander; sprinkle with salt and stir. Let stand 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, oil, cumin and pepper in a medium bowl.

3. Shake the cucumbers in the colander to drain any liquid. Turn the cucumbers out onto a clean kitchen towel and pat dry. Add the cucumbers to the dressing and toss to coat.
