ST. PATRICK’S DAY APPETIZER BOARD 1:
ALL GREEN VEGETABLE CRUDITE’ 

The first board is so obviously Irish, decked in everything green. Mainly consisting of fresh, raw veggies, a little fruit, antipasti, roasted vegetable spears round it out. Opting for a statement display like this over picking up the standard, pre-cut four-compartment plastic tray doesn’t take that much more effort. If you can incorporate some of the leftover veggies into other dishes, even better!

The Board Components:

• dill pickle spears
• shishito peppers
• green olives
• green grapes
• sugar snap peas
• baby cucumber
• broccoli
• broccolini
• bell pepper
• roasted asparagus
• pistachios
• green goddess dressing for dipping
• chives

NOTE: If you’re looking for a non-St. Patty’s veggie board with more color and diversity, here’s a crudite’ spread I prepared for THIS baby shower.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY APPETIZER BOARD 2:
RAINBOW FRUIT AND CHEESE TRAY

We may most often think of all green but rainbows are another St. Patrick’s Day staple. And, this ROYGBIV rainbow fruit and cheese board is simple to assemble and makes an impressive visual impact. When you’re arranging something in rainbow order, it isn’t just about categorizing by color. Think back to your school days when you learned about the spectrum- the name acronym Roy G. Biv (for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet). Keep this in mind when you hit the produce and dairy section and you can literally work your way through the colors, seeing what’s in season and available.

The Board Components:

• almonds
• pomegranate seeds
• raspberries
• dried cranberries
• mini heirloom tomatoes
• apricot preserves
• sharp cheddar cheese
• dried apricots
• orange slices
• pineapple spears
• monterey jack cheese
• parmesan cheese
• kiwi
• granny smith apples
• pear
• olives
• green grapes
• blueberries
• blackberries
• blackberry jam
• purple grapes

Obviously, you could use the same application for an all veggie rainbow food display, too 😉

ST. PATRICK’S DAY APPETIZER BOARD 3:
POT O’ GOLD CHOCOLATE & SWEETS

Last and simplest of the three boards- the pot of gold. Whether you want to make this a part of a dessert display, bring it to the table after dinner, or just keep it on the kitchen counter for the evening, this can be thrown together in minutes. Literally, cruise down the candy aisle and select gold-wrapped chocolates; you can even throw in chocolate truffles, blondies, etc. Bonus if you set out cellophane baggies (HERE) for guests to take a bag home with them.

The Board Components:

• Rolos
• Twix
• peanut butter chocolate chips
• gold coins
• Lindt white chocolate truffles
• ginger snaps
• Werthers
• Reeses cups
• Ferrero Rocher

Who doesn’t love a food display that doesn’t require cooking? With the visual impact of a well assembled appetizer tray, guests won’t even consider this an easier option!  For more entertaining ideas, make sure to subscribe to my emails at the bottom of the post.
