Why it works

Irish grass-fed cheddar is rich and buttery, and corned beef next to it adds a salty, savory bite. Bangers, the classic Irish sausage, make it hearty, and soda bread with whipped cream cheese is the board's most-grabbed pairing.

Green grapes, green apple and kiwi carry the theme without food coloring, and their tartness cuts the rich cheese. Whole-grain mustard and whiskey jam bring the sharp and the sweet.

Questions

What goes on a St. Patrick's Day charcuterie board?

Irish cheddar, Irish Gouda, corned beef, bangers, salami, soda bread, pumpernickel, green grapes, green apple, kiwi, pistachios, whole-grain mustard and whiskey jam.

What Irish cheese should I buy?

Irish cheddar is easy to find in most supermarkets. Kerrygold makes both cheddar and Gouda-style cheeses.

Can I make it ahead?

Slice the cheese and soda bread a few hours ahead and keep them wrapped. Cut the apple last so it doesn't brown. Leave it out no more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F.
