Recipe

Craving something that satisfies both sweet and salty cravings? This mix platter cleverly combines the richness of dark chocolate, the natural sweetness of dried fruit, and a hint of ultra-fine vegetable shreds for an unexpected fresh note, creating a complex yet balanced flavor experience. The fine shredding blade of the Geedel Food Chopper adds a touch of light greenery to this sweet ensemble.

Ingredients:

- High-quality dark chocolate chunks (70% cocoa or higher)

- Mixed dried fruit (e.g., dried apricots, figs, cranberries)

- ¼ zucchini or beetroot

- A small amount of roasted salted nuts (e.g., sea salt almonds)

- Optional: coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds

Instructions:

1. Prepare fresh vegetable shreds:  

   Wash the zucchini or beetroot. Using the Geedel Vegetable Chopper with the fine shredding blade, cut the vegetable into feather-light fine shreds. These fine shreds provide a subtle moistness and fresh plant aroma that balances the sweetness.

2. Combine dry ingredients:  

   On a large, shallow plate or wooden board, break the dark chocolate into irregular chunks. Scatter them artfully with the dried fruit, salted nuts, coconut flakes, and other toppings.

3. Add the finishing touch:  

   Gently sprinkle the fine vegetable shreds over the mix just before serving to keep them crisp and fresh—like green snowflakes.

4. Enjoy:  

   No extra prep needed—simply pick and choose your favorite combinations by hand. Try to include a bit of chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, and a few vegetable shreds in each bite to experience layers of salty, sweet, rich, crunchy, and fresh flavors.

Summary:

This creative snack mix breaks the boundaries of conventional snacking, showcasing endless possibilities for flavor pairing. The fine shredding function of the Geedel Food Chopper plays a key role here—its ability to produce such delicate vegetable shreds injects a refreshing vitality into the rich sweet-and-salty profile, making it a smart choice for “lazy girls” with a taste for the finer things in life.
