LONG LIVE THE IRISH GREEN SALAD!
An Irish-inspired salad recipe I tested and assembled for our upcoming annual St. Patrick's Day meal. Use any (mixed) salad greens of your choice. One shamrock-shaped cookie cutter (not too large) is required for this recipe. Feel free to substitute green beans and yellow/wax beans for the asparagus.

Steps:
- Note: I used leftover roasted asparagus spears from the previous night's dinner. Roasted would be preferred over steaming (my personal opinion.).
- Whisk the salad dressing ingredients together and refrigerate. Best prepared 1 hour in advance of serving.
- Combine the salad ingredients in a bowl except for the bell pepper and raisins. Toss.
- Take a shamrock-shaped cookie cutter and cut out shapes from the green bell pepper. (You may need an extra bell pepper to do this step.) How to: first slice the bell pepper lengthwise from stem to bottom. Remove seeds and membrane. Cut out shapes.
- Divide the salad onto [4] salad plates. Garnish with the shamrock-shaped slices of bell pepper; add the raisins.
EAT YOUR GREENS SALAD
This is Ree's favorite salad to serve at a BBQ. You don't have to stick to these exact ingredients-anything that is green can go in. Switch things up with asparagus, Granny Smith apples or anything else you fancy-as long as it's green!
