Cucumber cut into flower patterns

Cucumber is a very common vegetable and many people have a special liking for it. Many people say that eating cucumbers in summer can help lose weight. Therefore, people often cook it into dishes, and they can also wash it and eat it raw. In addition, cucumbers can also be made into cold dishes, but if they don’t look good, they will make people lose their appetite. Here I will teach you some methods of cutting cucumbers and arranging them in patterns.

Cucumber is one of the most common vegetables in our daily life. It is not only eaten as food, but also used as a skin care product. However, cucumber can also be decorated into various flowers on the plate. Today I will share with you the simple method of making cucumber lace.

Tools/Materials: One cucumber

Method/Steps: Prepare a cucumber

1. Choose a cucumber that is of uniform size, longer and slightly fuller. The slices cut from this kind of cucumber will look better. Wash it with the skin on.

2. Cut the cucumber in half sideways. When cutting, try to make the two sides even in size. You can also cut off a little bit of the head and tail of the cucumber and then cut it in half sideways. Be careful not to cut your hands!

3. Take one side of the cucumber and cut it wide. The purpose of cutting it wide is to make the cucumber have a slope so that it will be easier to cut it into oblique slices in the next step. Put the cut part aside.

4. Make two consecutive cuts, first cut a thin slice diagonally (not completely cut), then cut a second thin slice (completely cut). After cutting, fold one of the slices over. If the hand is too heavy or the slice is not cut thin enough, it will easily break.

5. Make three consecutive cuts, same as the fourth step, the first and second cuts are not completely cut, and the third cut is cut. After cutting, you can fold it into two petals, or you can only fold the middle petal. And so on, four, five, or six cuts are all fine.

6. To make the heart pattern, you only need to cut twice and fold the two cucumber slices in half.

7. Splice the finished lace. Follow the method of cutting twice in step 4 to make several laces. Stack them together to make a string of lace. You can make several more and put them together to form a round plate.

Note: Be careful not to cut your hands when slicing cucumber for the first time.
