Cuisine American
mandolin or sharp knife
toothpicks
star cutter
- 3 mini cucumbers I recommend Pure Flavor
- Sharp white cheddar cheese cut into ⅓rd inch slices
- 4 oz traditional stick of pepperoni
- salt
Use a sharp knife or mandolin to carefully cut for cucumbers into ¼th inch slices. Lay the slices flat and sprinkle each piece with a little salt to extract extra moisture.
Slice pepperoni into ⅓rd to ½ inch slices and set aside. Then use a star cutter to cut out 12 cheese stars.
Once the salted cucumbers have set out for at least 5 minutes use a paper towel to dab off the excess moisture.
1. Assemble the Christmas trees by gently folding the cucumbers into a pine tree shape. Then insert a toothpick through the middle, threading it from top to bottom. Skewer a pepperoni slice on the“bottom” of the tree, then top with a cheese star. Repeat the process until you have 12 “trees”. Enjoy!
