Irish Appetizers to Satisfy Your St. Paddy's Day Cravings

Mouthwatering St. Patrick's Day Appetizers

St. Patrick's Day, Ireland's annual celebration of Ireland's patron saint, is fast approaching. Every year on the 17th of March, the world transforms into a lively eye-catching green landscape, adorned with all things green—from four-leaf clovers to clothing, to drinks and desserts.

It is only fitting to make Irish appetizers in accordance with the theme of the celebration. If you are planning on hosting a dinner party, here are the most delicious St. Patrick's Day recipes you must serve. Let's get cooking!

1. Cheesy Reuben Appetizer

This delicious cheesy Reuben appetizer has corned beef and two types of cheese. If that isn't enough to make you anticipate all the other dishes to come, then I don't know what is.

Add some chives when you serve this for extra flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz chopped corned beef
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup sauerkraut (well-drained)

  1. Prepare your crockpot and spray all the sides with cooking oil.
  2. Add the corned beef, dressing, sour cream, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Mix them together until everything is well combined.

2. Shamrock Chips

Shaped as four-leaf clovers, these shamrock chips do not only look cute, but also taste great! All it takes are some spinach tortillas, a shamrock-shaped cutter, and yellow tomatoes for the salsa!

It's one of those Irish appetizers which makes you feel like you got lucky, indeed.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • 2 large yellow heirloom tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup onions (chopped)

Salsa Instructions:

  1. Chop ingredients into chunks, then toss into blender.
  2.  Squeeze tomatoes a bit for the salsa to have better consistency.
  3.  Set the blender to the lowest level to prevent over-blending.
  4.  Allow the flavors to combine by placing the salsa in the fridge for an hour.

Shamrock Chips Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Prepare 2 to 3 spinach tortilla wraps. One wrap can yield 7 to 8 shamrock chips.
  3. Make a clean cut of shamrock-shaped tortilla wraps with a cookie cutter.
  4. Place the shamrock-shaped cutouts on a cookie sheet, then lightly spray cooking oil mist.
  5. Bake the chips for 5 to 6 minutes or check often before the chips turn brown.
