Method

Cut firm cheese, feta², and cucumber³ into bite-sized pieces.
Arrange cucumber³, cherry⁴ tomatoes, olives⁵, and grapes⁸ on the board.
Place hummus⁶ in a small bowl nearby.
Add crackers⁷, breadsticks, and cheese.
Serve immediately, mixing and matching the ingredients.

Tips

Why it works: Cut the cheese into 1–1.5 cm cubes so it doesn't spread and get in the way of building combinations. Deseed the cucumbers if they taste bitter, so they are softer to chew.
Substitutions: Instead of cherry tomatoes, use 100 g of ceramid tomatoes or 80 g of diced sweet pepper. Instead of olives, use 20 g of pitted black olives if you have them.
Common mistakes: If the cheese on the board turns sticky or the cucumber yellows, the board is wet. Wipe it with a paper towel before assembling.
Storing and reheating: Keep the board out for no more than 2 hours at room temperature. Hummus and cheese can be kept separately in the fridge for up to 3 days, but crackers and vegetables are best fresh.
Serve with: Serve with iced tea or white wine for a light dinner after work. For kids, add apple or pear slices.
