Report
It is easy to Chiffonade Cut leafy greens to add color and flavor to any dish. Simply roll leaves tightly then slice them with a knife to the size you need.

Ingredients
- 1 bunch basil or other leafy vegetable
Instructions
- Break a few basil leaves off right where they meet the stem.
- Layer anywhere from 3-5 leaves into a stack on a cutting board, one placed directly on top of the other.
- To get really long strips roll the leaves up from the stem end. For shorter slices, roll the leaves starting on the longer side of the leaf. Try to make the roll as tight as possible.
- Using a well-sharpened chef’s knife, make cuts roughly ⅛ to 1/16-inch apart, perpendicular to the length of the roll. Use a circular motion while cutting to ensure the delicate leaves get cut all of the way through.
- Repeat this process with the remaining leaves until you have a chiffonade of basil.
Notes
- To Prep-Ahead: Depending on the leaf you're cutting, you can slice them up to 1 to 2 days ahead of time.
- To Store: Keep leftover sliced leaves in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Any longer and the leaves will start wilting.
- To Freeze: While you can freeze chiffonade cut leaves, they will lose their texture when they thaw.
