Smash the unpeeled and washed cucumbers with a flat object, such as a wide knife or cutting board, until they break lengthwise into three or four pieces, trimming off the ends first. Cut the cucumbers diagonally into 2 cm pieces and place them in a bowl. Crush the garlic and pour over the cucumbers. Mix the dressing with the remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds and drizzle over the salad. Let it sit for half an hour. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad before serving.
