Smashed Cucumber Salad With Za'atar and Feta

Name: Smashed Cucumber Salad With Za'atar and Feta
Cuisine: Mediterranean, Asian, Middle Eastern
Ingredients: 5 mini seedless or Persian cucumbers or 1 small English hothouse cucumber (about 12 oz.); Kosher salt; 2 garlic cloves, lightly smashed; 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 2 Tbsp. za'atar or 1 Tbsp. dried mint and 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds; 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes; 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice; Crumbled feta (for serving)

Instructions

Magic happens when toasted garlic oil meets fragrant za'atar. But if you don’t have za'atar on hand, dried mint is equally delicious infused into hot oil.
