Instructions

1. Pound the cucumbers with a meat mallet or heavy flat object until they smash and flatten slightly.
2. Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise, slice into 1 ½-inch thick pieces, and pound again.
3. Put the smashed cucumber pieces in a strainer over a bowl. Sprinkle with the 2 teaspoons salt and mix well.
4. Leave for 30 minutes so the liquid drains out.
5. Meanwhile, whisk the minced shallot, lemon juice, olive oil, dried mint, sumac and black pepper in a serving bowl to make the dressing.
6. Dab the cucumber dry with paper towel, then transfer it on top of the dressing.
7. Sprinkle the crumbled feta and toasted sesame seeds on top.
