Whether it’s lime, forest, army or kelly, get ready to don your favorite shade of green, because St. Patrick’s Day is HERE. There’s a lot to be excited about, with traditional Irish food – like Irish soda bread or stew – and parades galore! More than 100 St. Patrick’s Day parades are held every year in the United States. While the biggest celebrations take place in New York City and Boston, the city of Chicago steps it up and dyes its river neon green (using natural veggie dye, of course).
If you want to really impress an Irishman or woman today, try this tongue-twister: Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh (Happy St. Patrick’s Day!).
To celebrate the right way, you’ll need all the green you can get. Here are just a few delicious, green-themed recipes that will have you as excited as a leprechaun on March 17:
This Kale-Apple Smoothie makes it easy to be green.
This Green Hummus is just as good as finding a four-leaf clover!
A lucky leprechaun would love to join you for this Make-Ahead Green Salad with Shallots, Chicken, Smoked Almonds, Goat Cheese, and Dates.

Happy St. Patty’s!
