Cook a delicious and memorable holiday dinner for your family with these healthy and festive Easter Dinner sides!

With the changing dates of Easter each year, it always seem like the holiday somehow sneaks up on me. I'm left to research, brainstorm and plan my meal last minute. Not fun. Let's all save ourselves the hassle this year with these spring forward & nutritious, yet celebratory Easter dinner sides.

Appetizers

Kick off your holiday dinner with appetizers that will whet your guests' appetites and get them excited about what's to come.

Garbanzo Bean Fritters

An Easter dinner side Garbanzo Bean Fritter with sour cream and lemon zest sitting on a white plate with thyme.

With the savoriness of hummus and the crispness of a fritter, these will surely prep palates for the delicious meal ahead.

Maple Lime Fried Kale & Brussels Sprouts

Treat your guests to the type of greens that are usually only seen in restaurants. The bright maple lime flavor will also delight their taste buds.

Clear bowl of maple lime fried kale & brussels sprouts make the perfect easter dinner side on a white dish cloth.

Green Salads

Once everyone is seated, impress your family with a starter salad that brings all the flavors of spring and more.

Roasted Beet & Fennel Herb Salad

Sweet roasted beets, anise, herbs, and a light orange vinaigrette come together for a refreshing salad to complement any Easter dinner spread.

A teal porcelain bowl of roasted beets & veggies on a bed of greens. Fennel bulb to the right of bowl and lemon and orange to the top of bowl. The perfect easter dinner side.

Super Easy Arugula & Apricot Salad

Two bowls of an easter dinner side salad with Apricots, arugula, and hard shaved cheese sit on a blue dish cloth next to wooden salad tongs.

With less than 5 minutes prep time and 4 ingredients, this super easy, yet incredibly tasty salad will allow you to
Save your energy and time for cooking the rest of the meal.

Baked Sides

Heart-warming and festive Easter Dinner sides that will become family classics.

Remixed Carrot Soufflé

Potato Gratin Gruyere

An upclose of a plate of sweet & white potato gratin with the pan and another plate of gratin in the background makes the perfect easter dinner side.

Creative Easter Dinner Sides

Bring the spring-like spirit of creativity and new beginnings to your Easter Dinner traditions.

Italian Farro with Fennel & Citrus

With sweet citrus, chewy farro, the earthiness of pistachio, and bright pops of golden raisins this salad will surprise and delight your Easter guests.

Oranges, grapefruit, fennel, pistachios, and golden raisins in a Citrusy Fennel Salad form the perfect Easter dinner side. Blue towel in the background.

Ricotta Grits & Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Drizzle
