Need a mandolin to slice the cukes?
If you have a sharp knife and good knife skills, you can slice the cucumber very thinly without a mandolin. But I do think the mandoline slices come out much nicer, thinner, and more even. I also use it for red onion.
Just be very careful when cutting cucumbers on a mandolin because it’s hard to use the safety guard with the long shape of the cucumber. I recommend using a safety glove instead.
Add some smoked salmon or baby prawns.
Make this a delicious and satisfying lunch or lunch Salad with added protein.
Instructions
Cut your cucumber into very thin slices. Do this with a sharp knife or mandoline slicer set to 1/8 inch. Be careful when using the mandolin with cucumbers, I recommend wearing a safety glove.*
