How to cut cucumbers into thin slices?
What makes this recipe for Healthy Cucumber and Salmon Toast so special are the cucumber slices delicately placed on top of the salmon. Not only do the cucumber slices make these toasts elegant, but they add a crunchy touch.
To cut my cucumber into thin slices, I used my vegetable slicer from Triangle that I work with regularly (link to the vegetable slicer). This allows me to cut cucumbers or other vegetables with a thickness of 2 mm which is almost impossible with a knife.
If you do not have a vegetable slicer, you can use a mandolin or a peeler.
