Ingredients
- 2 english cucumbers, cut into thirds
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
- 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.
- Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, oil, cumin and pepper in a medium bowl.
- 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.
