To make cucumber curls, follow these simple steps to create an elegant garnish:
- Prepare the Cucumber: Peel off a few long strips from the cucumber until you have a flat surface to work with. You can achieve this either by using a peeler or by cutting the cucumber in half lengthwise.
- Create Thin Slices: Using the peeler, slowly peel one long, uniformly thin slice of cucumber. Leave the peel visible on the slice for added decoration.
- Roll the Slice: Gently roll up the thin cucumber slice using your fingers to form a curl.
These cucumber curls are perfect for adding a decorative touch to salads, appetizers, or any dish that needs a refreshing garnish.
