Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2.25 lbs green seedless grapes
  • 6 slices salami
  • 25 slices pepperoni
  • 4-5 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 6 oz. Swiss cheese
  • 4-6 raisins
  • 1 heart sprinkle

Instructions
 

  • Line the bottom of your board with salami slices to form the Grinch’s collar.
  • Add a row of grapes above the salami and tuck rosemary sprigs into a curved smile. Continue layering grapes to form the Grinch’s face.
  • Cut triangles from the American cheese for eyes, round the tops slightly, and add raisins in the center for pupils.
  • Use rosemary sprigs for eyebrows. Arrange Swiss cheese slices across the forehead for the Santa hat and cut one into a small rectangle with fringe for the tassel.
  • Layer pepperoni slices above the Swiss cheese to form the hat and tuck the tassel underneath the right side.
  • Place the heart sprinkle for the nose and serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes before assembling the board so excess moisture doesn’t make the meats slippery.
  • Use seedless grapes that are similar in size for a cleaner, more uniform Grinch face.
  • Chill the cheeses slightly before cutting to get sharper edges for the eyes and Santa hat details.
  • Trim rosemary sprigs just before assembling so they stay fresh, fragrant, and vibrant green.
