Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups green grapes washed and dried
- 1 cup strawberries cut in half, tops removed
- 1 cup mozzarella or white cheddar cheese cubes
- 1 cup mini marshmallows or small mozzarella pearls for variety
- 1 cup pretzel sticks or crackers for serving
- Fresh rosemary or mint leaves for garnish
- Optional: Honey or caramel drizzle for sweetness
Instructions
- Start by washing and drying all the grapes and strawberries well. A clean and dry surface keeps your board fresh and appetizing.
- Cut the strawberries in half and trim off the tops so they look like little Santa hats when paired with grapes.
- On a large wooden board, arrange the green grapes in small clusters. This will be the main base color for your Grinch theme.
- Add cheese cubes in between the grapes for a creamy contrast. You can use mozzarella, white cheddar, or Monterey Jack for a mild flavor.
- Place strawberry halves on top of some grapes to create the “Grinch hat” effect. Add a mini marshmallow or mozzarella pearl on top for the pom-pom look.
- Fill any empty spaces with pretzels, crackers, or small bowls of honey dip. This helps balance the sweet and savory taste.
- Garnish the edges of your board with rosemary sprigs or mint leaves. It adds a fresh scent and makes the board look extra green and festive.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. The fruit stays juicy and bright when chilled.
Notes
- Use toothpicks to hold grapes and strawberries together if serving at a large gathering.
- Add candy eyes or little heart sprinkles to give your grapes a Grinchy grin.
- If your fruit is wet, blot gently with a paper towel before arranging to prevent sogginess.
