Summer cucumber recipes
Cucumbers are the unsung heroes of summer! Sliced, diced, julienned or smashed - they provide crunch, freshness and take on all kinds of punchy flavours.

Smashing cucumbers is a traditional Chinese cooking technique which helps release the water, increase crunch, intensify the flavour and allow the dressing to be quickly soaked up. For this recipe I have added a Mediterranean twist with the fresh zingy flavours of lemon, feta and herbs, making it a perfect refreshing side dish to a summer feast.
