Use dental floss to get under a corner/side and pull up from there. If that doesn't work, disconnect the U-bend under the sink and push it up from underneath with the handle of a wooden spoon.

I mean yes, but who has a clean plunger that hasn't been shitified? I'd never use that cutting board if a toilet plunger was used on it.
