    If I'm making a recipe that asks me to cut the cucumber into "cuts" for a drink, would I just chop it up?
    Community Answer
    If you're blending the drink, I would chop the cucumber up into small pieces. If you're using it as a garnish, then I would cut it into slices.

  • Question
    How do you make the nice stripes between the green peel before slicing the cucumber?
    Community Answer
    You actually make the stripes as you peel the cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler, remove one strip of the skin all the way down the cucumber, move the peeler over enough to leave a strip of the skin attached, and run the peeler all the way down again. Repeat until you have the stripes as you like them.
