Cucumber Salad Cylinder

  1. Take the cucumbers and using a knife slice a couple good elongated slices out of the middle. Save the rest of the cucumber for the filling.
  2. Take each elongated slice and curve the cucumber together and attach the two ends together with a decorative pick. Or, you can make an angle cut at each end of the cucumber and then hook them together.
  3. In a medium bowl, take the diced apples and toss them with the lemon juice and mix well. This will keep them from turning brown.
  4. Add shredded cucumbers and strawberries to the apple mixture. Gently mix in all the additional ingredients and gently place in the cucumber cylinder. Drizzle infused olive oil over the top of each cucumber salad cylinder.
Tips: 
  • Add chopped nuts for a crunchy addition.
