St. Patrick’s luck shines in March and I like to create a seasonal salad which includes spring greens, watercress, walnuts, blueberries, fresh pear, crumbled blue cheese, and fresh steamed crab claws. Highlight this lovely salad with a homemade vinaigrette dressing made with finely chopped shallots, walnut oil, a good balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Serve this festive salad with Irish Soda Bread and wow oh wow, it is as worthy as any good-luck charm since it makes those gathered so happy and luck is in how you make it. © Kelly McBride Loft
