Material:

  • Two small cucumbers or one long cucumber

Equipments

  • Sharp-pointed knife
  • Carving knife

Directions

  • Cut the cucumber lengthwise into fairly thick slices. Cut the slices diagonally to obtain pieces shaped like a rhombus.
  • Trim each piece to shape it like a leaf.
  • On the green side, cut a groove to represent the midrib, and then cut diagonal grooves to represent the veins. These should be spaced to give an attractive alternating green and white pattern. Finally, cut notches around the edges of the leaf.
