St Patrick’s Day Appetizers to Kick Start the Party

It doesn't get more green or party worthy than this Green Goddess Pizza!

An ultimate St Patrick’s Day party food.

"There are actually quite a few naturally green snacks you can use in this board of St. Patrick’s Day Appetizers – pistachios, pesto, mint jelly, grapes, and zucchini.

For the protein, I used Dubliner Cheese (it tastes likes a dry medium cheddar) and a pub cheese (horseradish-cheddar). Both of these are available at Trader Joe’s.

For the meat, I used sliced ham and pastrami – a finger-food-friendly version of corned beef (my mom’s favorite dish to cook this time of year).

Add an ale or whole grain mustard and some fun gold-wrapped chocolate for the ultimate spread in St. Patrick’s Day Appetizers, right?"

"Throw on your favorite green clothes (don’t want to get pinched!) and celebrate Paddy’s Day with some fun, (mostly) healthy bites."

Spread the mixture on 4 slices white bread; top each with sliced Irish cheddar cheese and bread-and-butter pickles. Cover with 4 more bread slices. Spread plain butter on the outside of the sandwiches and fry in a skillet until golden on both sides. Spread the remaining herb butter on the warm sandwiches. Slice into quarters, then press the cut sides in more chopped herbs."

“I kept true to the Irish spirit with good Irish butter and, my latest obsession, Dubliner cheese. If you’ve never tried it, it’s creamy and buttery and sharp. Kind of halfway between a cheddar and a Parmesan. If you can’t find any then a good sharp cheddar will work fine but check out the cheese section of your market and you just might find it nestled among the cheddars. Either way, enjoy!”

“Use up leftover colcannon and make a batch of these delicious little colcannon tater tots.”
