English cucumbers, also called hothouse cucumbers, are best for this garnish. If you use standard cucumbers, look for a straight cucumber of a thin and uniform diameter. Wash and dry cucumber.

You will need:
• English (hothouse) cucumbers.
• Sharp paring knife.
• Vegetable peeler.
• Your choice of filling for the cucumber boat cavity. Suggestions include carrot flowers, cherry tomatoes, parsley, shredded cheese, condiments, and dips.
