Irish Pub Salad with Creamy Tarragon Dijon Dressing ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #easy #Irish #salad #StPatricksDay

Happy St. Patrick’s Day my foodie friends! In my search for new Irish recipes for St. Patrick’s day, I ran across a few posts about Irish salads. I have never been to Ireland, my trips there are only via the interwebs, so I was intrigued to discover that it is quite common to eat salad in Ireland. Huh. Who knew?


I found a few different recipes and they all featured similar things: eggs, cheese, a mix of fresh and pickled veggies and greens. Tarragon seems to be a the prevalent herb in the dressing, one dressing I found was creamy, one was more of a vinaigrette. I made mine creamy and lightened it up using yogurt. The Dijon mustard with the tarragon go very well together. I used a wonderful Irish cheese in my salad called Dubliner. It’s become a favorite of mine. It’s even better marinated.

So perhaps in lieu of or alongside your corned beef and cabbage or your hearty Irish Stew, you can make room on your table today for a good hearty Irish Pub salad.
