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

  • ½ Cup Olive Oil or Avocado Mayonnaise
  • 2 TB Malt Vinegar
  • 1 TB Chopped Fresh Tarragon
  • 1 Tsp Whole Grain Dijon 
Mustard
  • 1 TB+ Dark Beer
  • Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked 
Black Pepper

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.
