Chiffonade

Chiffonade (French: [ʃi.fɔ.nad]) is a slicing technique in which leafy green vegetables such as spinach, sorrel, or Swiss chard, or a flat-leaved herb like basil, are cut into long, thin strips.

[2] The technique can also be applied to thin crepes or omelets to produce strips.

This technique is not suited to small, narrow, or irregularly shaped herb leaves such as coriander, parsley, thyme, or rosemary.

It requires a consistent, flat surface area for the knife to accomplish the ribbons.
