We love that Easter dinner isn’t as set in stone as other food holidays (looking at you, Thanksgiving), but it makes shuffling through Easter dinner ideas that much harder. Your guests certainly won’t mind if you go with a classic main dish like honey-baked ham or a gorgeous leg of lamb, but nothing is stopping you from going off-script with a whole roast fish or welcoming the return of fresh spring produce with any number of vegetarian entrées. The many choices, the many strategies; it can be paralyzing!
If there’s one thing we’ve learned through many years of coming up with Easter dinner ideas, it’s this: Go big. If your table is showstoppingly full, your whole family will walk away happy with pretty much any of our best Easter sides, appetizers, and entrées. (Oh, and don’t forget the chocolate eggs.)
