CHIFFONADE:
Chiffonade is a cutting technique that you can use to cut up any flat leafy food. It works great on things that you are going to eat fresh, like basil and lettuce and helps you cut uniform, curly, strips of food quickly and elegantly. Just stack the leaves, roll them up, and slice into thin strips.
