Q&A for How to Slice a Cucumber

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.

It's slimy, blackened, or has visible mold.

You can cut foods into shapes with cookie cutters or by free-handing it with a knife.

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.
