Its not enough to slice a cucumber in a different way, there has to be a reason for it. Here's a simple cucumber salad: sliced cucumber, bit of red onion, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; but it's a new and improved cucumber salad because of the way it's cut. The ribbon slices of cucumber rendered the whole salad more crunchy, with more tooth and texture than chunks of cucumber.
See, it pays to experiment.
