5 Green Dinners for Extra Luck During the Week of St. Patrick's Day

White fish doesn't have a ton of flavor, which means you can pack on allllll the herbs and spices you want—and with parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and mint all on this dish, we really went there. The more the merrier, especially when it comes to holiday spirit.

On St. Patrick's Day itself, go extra, extra green with both spinach linguine AND spinach sauce. Did we mention it's a 30-minute meal? Oh, and it's pretty much required that you make John's Green with Envy cocktail to get the party started. Sorry, we don't make the rules!

Recipe: Try Rach's Straw & Hay Pasta with Spinach Sauce & Pine Nuts

Fontina, parmesan, shallot, and dijon create a serious sammie that's much easier than it looks. The kale-apple-almond salad comes together in less than two minutes, and it's so good you'll be serving it with everything.

Doesn't this curly, swirly dish just scream happiness? Stock up on frozen puff pastry so you can prep it whenever you want. After that, all you need is lemon, arugula, cheese spread, olive oil, and zucchini. It's easy being green!
