By ‘smacking’ the cucumbers in this refreshing side dish you create more rough surfaces to better soak up the spicy sauce. It makes a great accompaniment to grilled chicken or skewered steak. Feel free to use more chilli sauce if you want it really spicy or less chilli oil if you prefer it milder. Whipped tahini is creamy, nutty, richly satiating and comes together in a snap using a stick blender.

- Put the cucumber onto a chopping board and use the side of a cleaver or a rolling pin to smash the cucumbers. Chop the cucumbers into bite-size pieces and sprinkle with sea salt. Set aside for 1 hour to draw out the juices.
- Rinse off salt, drain very well, then add to a large bowl with remaining ingredients. Toss and season. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
- Meanwhile prepare the whipped tahini. Place all ingredients in a blender. Whiz until smooth. Spread whipped tahini on a serving plate. Top with cucumber mixture and serve. Drizzle with extra chilli oil if desired.

I love the whipped tahini, taht must be delicious!
Para mi sería muy picante, pero está la opción de rebajarlo. Por lo demás es una guarnición original y fresca.
But how can one smack a baby cucumber, it is just a lil' baby??? Poor baby cucumber....

Hi Angie, this is a delicious looking dish. It reminds me of an Ottolenghei dish I had at the Food Festival. Whipping the tahini makes it extra special. Bernadette, New Classic Recipe

Angie, I'd have to peel the cucumbers to lessen the amount of Vitamin K for me to be able to eat this very attractive salad. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Love these tangy, spicy cucumbers, Angie! And whipped tahini sounds amazing.
Smashed cucumbers are the best way to marinate and infuse flavors! I love that combination of spicy dressing and cooling whipped tahini, what a winning recipe.
I smash all sorts of vegetables for roasting, but have never thought of this. I'm trying it for sure. Thank you for the delicious idea. And as always, the presentation and photos are perfection. :-) ~Valentina
The smashed cucumber salad is already so good on its own.
