How to Make Floral Garnish Without The Flowers Dedicated To Bergy

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the cucumber.
  2. Cut off one tapered end of the cucumber and discard.
  3. Cut three 1-inch thick segments from the cucumber and halve each segment lengthwise.
  4. You should now have six cucumber half-segments.
  5. Place four of the half-segments on a cutting board. Cut each diagonally into two pieces, creating eight petal-shaped pieces.
  6. Take one of the remaining two half-segments. Thinly slice it into half-moon shapes to create the stem. Trim as needed for desired length and appearance.
  7. Using a vegetable peeler, create one or two thin strips of cucumber peel. Cut these strips into small leaf shapes.
  8. Use a 1-inch diameter cookie cutter to cut out two circles from the cheese slices. These will form the center of your flower.
  9. Assemble the garnish: Arrange the eight petal-shaped cucumber pieces in a circular pattern to create a rose. Place the half-moon stem pieces in the center, followed by the cheese circles.
  10. Add the cucumber leaf shapes for an extra touch of elegance.
  11. Arrange your beautiful cucumber roses on a platter with your favorite dishes!
