Chiffonade

Origin: French

A technique in which leafy green vegetables or herbs are cut into long, thin strips, usually by stacking the leaves, rolling them tightly, then cutting across the roll with a sharp knife, producing fine ribbons.

Also a term describing the garnish that is created by this technique, and used for decorating soups or cold dishes.
