fancy

I don't often spend much time on plating and presentation, but I've been dying to try this little trick that I learned while working in catering. And the cucumbers are finally in, so I tried it.
Slice a cucumber lengthwise very thinly. The ideal thickness is less than 1/8", really just as thin as you can possibly cut it without the fruit breaking. Then, wrap it around in a circle, and it will stick to itself. Fill the inside with a few leaves of lettuce or some other salad, and ta-da: you've got a fancy little appetizer.
