How to Dice Cucumber for a Salad

Remove the skin. If you don't have a Y-peeler yet, it's totally worth the 5 bucks.

Slice off a little chunk from each tip.

Slice cucumber lengthwise, right down the center.

I like to use a small spoon to scrape out the seeds. You can definitely keep the seeds if you prefer, but I like to remove them in most cases because I prefer the crisp portion of the cucumber.

Slice the halves lengthwise again to yield long strips. Angle the knife slightly in order to maintain a uniform shape.

Collect the lengths of cucumber. Slice to yield small cubes.

Nice, uniform little cucumber chunks.
