“Smashing the cucumbers gives them a craggly shape so they hold on to the dressing!”

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the cucumbers in a large zip-top bag and smash them with a heavy skillet. Chop into 3/4-inch pieces and place in a colander. Season with a pinch of salt and let sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice and red onion in a large bowl and let sit until the cucumbers are ready.
  3. Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the red onion. Add the mint, olive oil, za’atar, radishes and a few turns of pepper and toss. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
