These beautiful spring dishes capture the green spirit of St. Patrick’s Day with healthy, naturally vibrant ingredients like avocado, cilantro, broccoli and pistachios. Why add food coloring to bagels and beer when naturally green fare (including this festive bright green margarita!) looks and tastes this good? Wow your party guests by serving a lucky spread of green dishes without a drop of dye.

Granny Smith apples, romaine lettuce and a fresh cucumber lend this refreshing margarita its bright-green hue. Decorate the rim with salt and spike the juice with your favorite tequila — silver is particularly nice.

Get your St. Patrick’s Day morning off to a lucky start with this super-green superfood breakfast of Avocado Toast with Nori Mix.

Broccoli rabe and pistachios come together to create a flavorful, vibrant green pesto to toss with orecchiette. It’s the perfect dish to tote along to a St. Paddy’s potluck.

It may be more Mexican than Irish in origin, but this unique guac is still a fitting party starter. It has a surprising crunch, thanks to pistachios on top that contrast nicely with the pear and avocado.

You can’t have a true Irish celebration without potatoes of some kind, and these broccoli-loaded skins up the fun factor and the green factor at once.

St. Patrick’s Day is the first official holiday of spring, so bring some in-season asparagus to the party. What looks like a basic side dish is tossed with olives and basil for a huge flavor boost.

Nutty quinoa mingles with spinach, cilantro and jalapeno in this bright green side or vegetarian main dish.

Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so kick it up with a luscious, currylike green sauce made with coconut milk, cilantro, ginger, garam masala, garlic and jalapeno. It’s nontraditional for St. Patrick’s Day, sure … but so are green bagels.
