The monthly recipe challenge is a bit of fun, with a nice prize on offer too, and it’s a great way of meeting bloggers from all over the world and sharing recipes. It is open to all, and not just those who have a blog. You can find all the details on how to enter here.
I volunteered to be a Judge for this month, and, along with my fellow judges listed below, am looking forward to seeing all the entries:
Angie from Big Bear’s Wife
Antonella from Sapori in Concerto
Dima from Dima’s Kitchen
Drina from Eaternal Zest
Marta from Princess Misia Recipes
Maslinka from Ja u kuhinji
Meta from Cooking with Barry & Meta
Pauline from Poppy Cooking
Stefania from Big Shade
St. Patrick’s Day is on 17th March, and is one of the few “national” holidays which is celebrated around the world. The Irish are a far-reaching people, and folks of Irish descent are to be found in most countries. We are everywhere!
Decades ago here in Ireland, it was much more of a Religious Holiday, with attendance at Mass being the focal point of the day. After all, St. Patrick did bring Christianity to our shores. Nowadays, it is a day off work and school, attending your town or village Parade, and in a lot of cases, party time!
Jokes aside, famous landmarks across the world will be “glowing green” for the day and evening. The Chicago River will be dyed green once again. The Eiffel Tower, The Empire State Building, Niagara Falls, The London Eye, Burj Al Arab in Dubai, Table Mountain in South Africa, the Sky Tower in Auckland, and the TV tower in Berlin’s Alexanderplatz, will all be bathed in an Emerald hue this year.
For the recipe challenge, each Judge must post a recipe too, but it will not be included as an entry in the competition.
My recipe is one of those which was borne out of a rummage in the fridge one day, looking for the makings of something for lunch. It is quick, tasty, and filling too. No cooking involved, just good ingredients put together.
Lemon Juice to Taste
*Smoked Irish Salmon means that the fish is of Irish origin, whereas Irish Smoked Salmon just means it was just smoked in Ireland – Not the same at all!!
So, what are you waiting for, get your entry in, you never know, it might be you!
Enjoy!
Cakes, Bakes, and other Bits 
I would eat Sandwiches over other foods any time! Salmon and avocados are a match made in heaven! I am all in for your sandwich, enjoyed your post 🙂

Thanks for your comment, Caítríona. That would be great, all you have to do is include a green ingredient, and follow the rules, which are quite simple. Hope your family event goes well, and good luck with your entry 🙂
