This is how to cut a chiffonade (a fancy way to cut your herbs). First you roll it into cigar very tight. Next, you slice across, which will cut the herb into confetti like strips. It is perfect for garnishing a dish.
This is the treat I serve to my healthier friends who don’t necessarily agree that anything with bacon and cheese is automatically amazing. It is also insanely easy to prepare and looks absolutely gorgeous. It can be a party appetizer, a healthy salad with lunch or dinner, or even dessert. The key here would be to use a very good quality extra virgin olive oil and in season watermelon.
