Recipe

On a cool autumn or winter evening, when you just want to cozy up on the couch with a movie but don’t want to settle for boring snacks, this elegant charcuterie board can be ready in just five minutes. Savory cured meats, rich cheeses, and sweet grapes come together in every bite, while perfectly diced cucumber adds a crisp, refreshing contrast. The dicing function of the Geedel Food Chopper makes vegetable prep effortless—so even on the laziest nights, you can enjoy a refined snack.

Ingredients:

- 3–4 types of cured meat (e.g., Italian salami, prosciutto, peppered beef slices)

- 2–3 types of cheese (e.g., aged cheddar, brie, goat cheese)

- 1 small bunch of seedless grapes

- ¼ cucumber

- A handful of mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)

- Crackers or baguette slices

- Honey or fruit jam (for serving with cheese)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the vegetables:  

   Wash the cucumber. Using the Geedel Vegetable Chopper with the dicing blade, cut the cucumber into sections and place them in the container. Press lightly 3–4 times to instantly get evenly sized, crisp cucumber dices. The attached container of this manual vegetable chopper catches the ingredients directly, saving you extra transfer steps.

2. Arrange the meats and cheeses:  

   On a large wooden board or serving platter, fold or roll the cured meats into rose-like shapes and arrange them loosely on one side. Cut cheeses of different textures into bite-sized pieces or wedges and intersperse them with the meats.

3. Fill and garnish:  

   Place the washed grape clusters (or smaller bunches) on the board. Fill the gaps with the prepared cucumber dices and mixed nuts. The freshness of the cucumber balances the richness of the meats and cheeses.

4. Serve and enjoy:  

   Place a bowl of crackers or toasted baguette slices alongside the board. Add a small dish of honey or fruit jam for dipping or spreading on cheese. No cooking required—a colorful, multi-layered charcuterie board is ready to enjoy.

Summary:  

This classic board embodies the essence of “lazy gourmet”—maximum flavor satisfaction with minimal effort. The dicing function of the Geedel Food Chopper is key to quickly obtaining uniform vegetables, and its integrated design makes prep truly quick and effortless. It’s the perfect companion for relaxing at home during the cooler seasons.
