How to make a cucumber rose

If your salads, which are planned for the festive table, have a fresh cucumber, then try to make a decoration for dishes out of it. For example, the delicate rose presented in this master class is made from cucumber. In more detail, how to make a cucumber rose, we will show in step-by-step photos.

Step 1

To create a rose from cucumbers, we need to prepare the cucumber itself and the knife. Let’s start the process of creating such a decoration with a rose stand. To do this, cut off a small piece from the cucumber.

Step 2

Carefully cut out the middle with a knife. We need such a blank in order to hold all the petals of the future flower.

Step 3

Now let’s start creating rose petals from cucumber. A step-by-step photo will help you visually understand each action. To do this, we will cut the cucumber into thin rings. We cut as thinly as possible, while the piece itself should practically shine through. And a sharp knife, sharpened in advance, will help with this.

Step 4

In this way, we cut several rings, after which we stack them in a row on top of each other. In addition, each subsequent blank should overlap the previous one by half.

Step 5

From this strip we will make a cucumber rose. To create a flower, we need to take hold of the beginning of the strip and gently (but at the same time quite tightly) begin to fold all the cucumber rings. After that, we install them in a pre-prepared stand. And then gently straighten the petals.

Step 6

We got such a cucumber rose salad. Additionally, we can decorate it with small elements cut from the same vegetable. They can be like this or made to your taste in the form of ordinary leaves.

Step 7

For brightness, we added small pieces of cherry tomatoes.
