I am not a big fan of very crunchy cucumber skin so I peel the skin off of the cucumber before I cut it.

First I cut my cucumber long ways to create long strips

Then I rotate and cut them all into about 3" rectangular pieces

Finally I set them out for everyone to enjoy

While cucumbers can be cut horizontally into slices I like like the versatility of this type of cut.

These cucumbers are great for dipping and to be added into any wrap or sushi!
