The Best Healthy Charcuterie Board
As the luck of the Irish might say your health depends on luck. But Healthy Foodie would not agree. Having a healthy lifestyle is a choice for most people as to how they spend their days and what they consume in their body. This is why I’ve chosen to share with you the Best Healthy Charcuterie Board. I’ve gathered healthy ingredients that are of course mostly green. Have fun making this one on March 17th for St. Patrick’s Day or any other holiday!
Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17, the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. We celebrate with green decorations, fun parties and of course wearing green. If you don’t wear green, you will get pinched but I hope not too hard. Let’s celebrate this year with a healthy St. Patrick’s Day Charcuterie Board.
Ingredients for the Best Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Charcuterie Board
This board is a bit unique compared to the others I’ve made because it doesn’t have meat. I wanted to try some different cheeses and fresh fruits. And I had to find green items. So have fun with it and choose what you think will taste great together. The crackers were a great choice because they went well with all the other ingredients. I just needed a second bag because many of them were broken and too small to display. The fruit went well with the cheeses and so complimentary of each other. Choose a good cheese knive like any of the ones here.
Ingredient List:
- Cauliflower Crisps (Gluten Free from Trader Joe’s)
- Green Granny Smith Apple
- Green D’Anjou Pear

Fun & great ideas! It’s usually the Irish tradition of corn beef & cabbage for St Patty’s day, which I don’t really care for so all the appetizers of green & white fruits, veggies & cheeses are a nice change! Your visual videos are beautifully done & fun to watch! Thanks again healthy foodie for some great ideas!
