Any "green" St. Patty's Day recipes to share?

[mla973]

We have a St. Patrick's Day potluck at work this year. I'm just looking for something simple, but fun. Appetizer, dessert, meat, etc.

Please share ideas/links if you have them. Thanks!

For potlucks on St.Patty's day I usually will make "watergate salad". It comes out a lighter green color but you can as a drop or two of food coloring to help it along if you want darker. Can't remember the exact recipe, but I usually dont follow it anyways. Here are the ingedients though. Its green and yummy.

pistachio pudding mix
cool whip
mini marshmallows
drained crused pinnepple
chopped nuts

I have to send a green snack to school with dd. I am going to make green chocolate covered pretzels, by adding green food coloring gel to the melted white chocolate.

Every year, the leprechaun turns my kids' milk green... (with food coloring) he also leaves his footprints around the house and causes mischief (like overturned couch cushions or something...) with a bag of gold waiting!

Other treats... exactly green but "pot of gold" cups... kind of like dirt pudding... chocolate pudding topped with yellow m&m's... and sometimes I can find shamrock shaped food picks or candies (like the ones that go on cakes) to add to the top...

My son's teachers brought some goodies to class today and it included green cheese cake (I imagine they just added green food coloring to the batter), green iced cookies, guacomole doritos (these were the kids favorites, green chips) and green hawaiin punch.
