Start your celebration with appetizers like vegan Irish soda bread served with a rich and creamy vegetable soup or a hearty vegan stew.

Side dishes can include colcannon, traditionally made with potatoes and cabbage, but here given a vegan makeover using plant-based butter and milk. A vibrant green pea and mint soup can also add a splash of color and freshness to your meal, embodying the green spirit of the holiday.
For dessert, why not serve a decadent vegan Bailey’s cheesecake or some fun, green-tinged vegan cupcakes decorated with shamrocks? These sweet treats are not only festive but also a delightful way to end your St. Patrick’s Day feast.
