ST. PATRICK’S DAY SNACK TRAY WITH PARMESAN PESTO DIP

Looking for a fun and easy way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? This colorful St. Patrick’s Day snack tray is filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, plus a creamy pesto Parmesan dip that is so good you may want to make a double batch!

Whether we’re traveling to Ireland or celebrating at home with an Irish-inspired recipe, we always have fun with St. Patrick’s Day. After lots of heavier meals recently, I wanted to put together something fresh, colorful, and a little lighter this year.

This festive snack tray has a little bit of everything—sweet, salty, crunchy, and savory.  It’s surprisingly quick to put together!

A Fun St. Patrick’s Day Snack Board

I love putting together snack trays, cheese boards, and charcuterie boards. They’re great for entertaining, but honestly, we sometimes make them for dinner too!

For this one, I arranged the fruits and vegetables into a rainbow and added plenty of green ingredients to give it a St. Patrick’s Day feel. You don’t need to follow the arrangement exactly, either. Use the fruits and vegetables you like and have fun with it.

I usually make my Guinness Stew with White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes for St. Patrick’s Day, and this snack tray is a fun, lighter addition to the menu.

Pesto Parmesan Dip

The pesto Parmesan dip might actually be my favorite part of this entire tray—and it’s green, so it fits the theme perfectly!

It’s creamy, savory, garlicky, and delicious with all the fresh vegetables. I definitely recommend making extra if you’re serving a crowd!
