The brunoise slice is a versatile option to julienne when preparing vegetables in restaurants. This technique allows the vegetables to be cut into 3mm cubes.

Chiffonade

Chiffonade (French cooking technique) is where thin strips made from leafy vegetables or larger herbs can be cut so that they resemble a sliver.
