Build a better St. Patrick’s Day menu this year!

When I was a kid, St. Patrick’s Day felt synonymous with one thing: green food dye.

Green pancakes.
Green bagels.
Very green beverages.

And while I will never turn down a festive sprinkle moment, Irish-inspired cooking has so much more to offer than a few drops of coloring.

Irish food is hearty, rustic, and comforting. (And yes, sometimes a little boozy.)

Below are some of my favorite Well Plated recipes to build a St. Patrick’s Day menu that goes beyond green food coloring.

Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad

1 Share

If you’re looking for a bright, light, and refreshing winter salad, this shaved Brussels sprouts salad is exactly what you need. Made with thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, zesty lemon, sweet dried cherries, and nutty Parmesan cheese, it delivers the perfect balance of crunchy, tangy, sweet, and savory in every bite.

I love this salad because it highlights one of my favorite winter vegetables—the mighty Brussels sprout—in a completely new way. I usually roast Brussels sprouts until crispy, but eating them raw never crossed my mind until I tried a shaved Brussels sprouts salad at a restaurant over the holidays. One bite and I was hooked.

This salad is everything I crave during the dark winter months: hearty vegetables with a light, fresh feel. If you’ve noticed a theme in my winter salads lately, it’s all about the crunch—and this one absolutely delivers. Crisp shaved Brussels sprouts paired with chewy dried cherries and salty Parmesan make this salad both satisfying and refreshing.

If you’re looking to add a healthy, crunchy winter salad to your rotation, this shaved Brussels sprouts salad is a must-try. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
