- IMPRESSIVE ENTERTAINING TIPS:
- When you're entertaining presentation is everything.
- Adding that special touch known as garnish can turn the
- ordinary into the extraordinary. Here is a tip to help
- you present like the real pros.
- CUCUMBER-CARROT PINWHEELS
- - whole cucumbers, unpeeled
- - whole carrots, peeled
- Cut cucumber in 3" lengths. Hollow out seeded middle
- section. Push a carrot into the hollowed out center of
- the cucumber. Slice the cucumber/carrot wheels into 1/2-
- inch slices. You end up with a cucumber slice with a
- carrot center. Looks very attractive as a garnish and
- is fat free and tasty!!
- TIP: Try scoring the cucumber skin before cutting for
- an even more interesting look. Run a fork lengthwise
- down the cucumber skin all around the cucumber.
- Actually, this method makes pretty cucumber slices
- with or without skin.
- (perfect for veggie trays too!)
