A vegetable spiral

[Ader1]

Can anyone suggest to me a type of vegetable spiral that would be able to make this type of spicy cucumber salad? I know that the recipe suggest using a vegetable peeler but was thinking if there are any kind of spiralizers or ribbon makers which would to the job as well?

There's usually a tool like THIS in a cheap garnishing kit. It makes a thin spiral very easily. For the money, I'd get the whole kit, the extra tools are also useful.

this would work for that salad: http://www.amazon.com/GEFU-13460-Spirelli-Spiral-Cutter/dp/B0026RMEK4/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1379978781&sr=1-1&keywords=spiral+cutter+for+vegetables

this works for potatoes and more:

I've got the Benriner from Japan. It also has cutting inserts that allow you to make finer spirals.

Thank you for your suggestions. Some of those slicers sliced through the whole veg from the outset. But a recipe like the one I posted above requires you to discard the core. Otherwise, all of them would be ideal.

Looking on Amazon, the more expensive horizontal Benriner discards the core.

I've got a vertical and a horizontal Benriner. For cukes the vertical one works best.
