This salad is refreshingly delicious and so easy to make. Plus smashing the cucumbers is so satisfying (especially if you have had a bad day!)

Cucumbers are incredibly low in calories, meaning they're a great option if you're on a fitness plan. They're high in antioxidants, and good for your body's hydration. 

Because cucumbers are composed of so much water (around 96% in fact), they are really effective at promoting hydration and can help you meet your daily fluid needs.

Perfect for picnics, BBQs or a healthy lunch, pair it with our beautiful fava bean flatbreads and bang bang chicken.
