My wife does a wonderful spinach dip for chips. Add some green food coloring to make it more "St. Patrick's Day-ish"

Here is a recipe: Creamy Parmesan Spinach Dip | Skinnytaste



You can put it in a hollowed out chunk of pumpernickle bread - for presentation.

And green jello shots always go over well for St. Patrick's day too!

Thanks for the reminder! That's my son's NY contribution to parties, but he uses the Hawaiian bread that comes in a round loaf and hollows that out. Spinach = green = St. Pat's Day = I don't have to wait until NYE to eat it again. Now I'm drooling....

Maybe you could do deviled eggs, and dye the filling green?? (I add mayo, salt, dill, a little bit of yellow mustard, and a great big dollop of horseradish...yum!) If you added a bit of minced ham to the filling, it could be Green Eggs and Ham .....

Hmmmm, now there's an idea. I should have thought of that for snacktime when I taught preschool!

Mark, they sound yummy! I may use the pistachio pudding thing for my Easter dinner as a salad/jello. (I usually make a peach salad thing that sounds similar.) Bet it would go well with ham.
