Happy St Patricks Day with Rumplethumps and Atlanta and Company

Cheers to St Patrick’s Day! 

Hold the Corned Beef This Year and serve up these fun recipes to celebrate St Pattys Day.

Pub Salad is a salad served up in the local pub, simple and delicious, often with the bar garnishes topping a salad of chopped lettuce. The green dressing is not only delicious but the perfect color for the day.

Rumpledumps is a traditional Celtic dish of potatoes and cabbage – today we are creating a fun twist on the usual by serving it up in a baked potato, topped with cheddar cheese.

A Mini St Pats Day Shake is the perfect end to a Irish inspired dinner!

Pub Salad

  • 4 Cups Lettuce, Your Choice
  • 4 Cups Bar Ingredients (such as pickled beets, boiled eggs, sliced cucumbers, chopped celery, grape tomatoes or olives)
  • 1 Recipe Pub Dressing

Toss the lettuce together with the Pub Dressing in a large bowl. Arrange the lettuce on a platter as the base of the salad. Place the bar ingredients over the lettuce and serve with the remaining dressing on the side. 

Pub Dressing with Dark Beer

Mustard

Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, tarragon and Dijon mustard in a jar. Add enough beer to enable the dressing to pour easily. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
