Side dishes to suit every Easter table

No matter what your religious views, Easter and similar springtime holidays are a celebration of rebirth, renewal, blossoming and optimism. The traditional meals that are prepared during this time showcase lamb, seasonal vegetables, symbolic eggs, and other ingredients that have been historically difficult to come by during the long, dark stretch of winter. And just as many people enjoy Thanksgiving trimmings more than the turkey, an Easter ham or leg of lamb wouldn’t be the same without delectable side dishes. We’ve rounded up some of the iconic accompaniments to a traditional Easter dinner as well as some temptingly inventive departures.

Elegant asparagus

When tender asparagus spears start to appear on supermarket shelves and farmer’s market stands, it’s cause for celebration—and for straightforward recipes that let this vegetable shine. Try giving just-roasted asparagus a light sprinkle of lemon and parmesan. Or serve the spears for brunch, topped with a homemade hollandaise.

Asparagus and peas

Asparagus also has an affinity with another bright green springtime staple: fresh peas. Steam them separately, then combine with a few pats of butter, a sprinkle of finishing salt and fresh cracked pepper. Or give both a quick blanch, then toss into a salad alongside other springtime flavors like mint and goat cheese.

Spring salads

Salads are a welcome addition to just about any meal, and they shine particularly bright when made with just-plucked-from-the-garden baby lettuces, microgreens, radishes, and carrots. Homemade tarragon dressing comes together in two shakes of a lamb’s tail and will elevate any salad. For a heartier option, try a spring-inspired panzanella, which embellishes the vegetables with toasted croutons and feta.

Homemade pasta

It’s easier than you might think to make your own pasta, and oh-so-worth-it when you have wide pappardelle noodles to coat with a lemony cream sauce or delicate angel hair dressed simply with olive oil and cracked pepper. Add whatever light and flavorful veggies you find at the farmer’s market, or stir fresh herbs into the sauce at the very end. But be careful—your pasta might very well steal the show!

Piped potato presentation

If you want a classic Easter potato, go for good old scalloped or au gratin. But if you want something not just decadently delicious, but classy to boot, consider piling potatoes into your pastry bag. Duchess potatoes and fried potato spirals also have the advantage of built-in portion control.

Herbed new potatoes

Sophisticated spuds are all well and good, but Easter cooks who are pressed for time (or plain ol’ stressed out) might want to stick with the simplicity of new potatoes. Boil them gently, toss with butter, and scatter fresh parsley and/or mint over these tiny, tasty taters.

Lemon-herb couscous

Couscous, the pasta that eats like a grain, is seriously one of the simplest dishes to make. If you can boil water and use a fork, you’ve got the necessary chops to make this side. Adding lemon and fresh herbs elevates just about anything edible, and couscous is no exception.

Roasted radishes

If you haven’t tried roasting radishes in the oven, you are in for a real treat. Roasting mellows the red tuber’s sharp bite, leaving them tender, toothsome and juicy. Slice in half, toss with a neutral, high-heat oil, season with salt and pepper, and into your cast-iron skillet they go.

Spinach salad

Use up a couple of those hard-boiled eggs your kids dyed by slicing them into a spinach salad alongside mushrooms and red onions. The tried-and-true version includes bacon bits and a warm bacon dressing. For vegetarians, pour over a sweet and savory poppyseed dressing and omit the pig.

Deviled eggs

No Easter table would be complete without a platter of deviled eggs. Since you’ve likely got colored eggs to spare, why not try a few different varieties? Dress up your hardboiled henfruit with bacon, cheese, avocado, jalapeno, horseradish, pickle relish, smoked salmon, smoked paprika, or anything else you fancy.
