35 Easter Lunch Ideas To Make Your Sunday Feast Even Better

If you’ve been hunting for Easter eggs all morning, you’re going to want plenty to feast on come lunch time. Look no further than all of our top Easter lunch recipes, featuring salads, veggie sides, soups, breads, and more. Pair them with one of our impressive ham or lamb recipes or Easter brunch mains, or keep things light in preparation for the main dinner event. The best part? These recipes are a breeze to make, so you're guaranteed to have a no-stress holiday feast (though maybe whip up a few Peeptinis for good measure, just in case?).

Speaking of no stress, the last thing you want when you’ve got lots of family or kids around is to be stuck in the kitchen, so we’ve included a number of recipes here that are simple to throw together and are guaranteed to please everyone at your table. Salads are classic, and reminder—they don’t just have to be made out of greens. We do have a few green salads here, like our strawberry spinach salad or our spring Cobb salad, but we’ve also got a number of carb based salads to choose from too. Try our classic egg salad (a MUST for leftover eggs), our red potato salad, our best chicken salad, or our Greek chickpea salad for ideas. Hot tip: nearly all of these are also wonderful tucked between two slices of bread or pita for an on-the-go Easter lunch too. Pack our brie, prosciutto, & asparagus bundles, our spinach-artichoke buns, or our ham & cheese spinach puffs alongside for the perfect Easter picnic.

Looking for some heartier meals to serve for Sunday lunch? Our pizza rustica, our cheesy-bacon asparagus casserole, our burrata, brie, & prosciutto tortellini, or our primavera baked orzo are all super satisfying, and go especially well with springy sides like our garlic-Parmesan roasted carrots, our scalloped potatoes & ham, or our hot cross buns. Mix and match these recipes to fill your lunch spread, keeping a variety of textures and colors in mind.

Then, the only thing you'll be missing are some cute Easter cookies, an Easter cake, or any other Easter desserts you can come up with (SO many adorable ones this time of year). Save us some carrot patch brownies, please! We also went ahead and tried all the best hams you can have delivered to your door, to save you even more time this holiday. That way, you’ll have even more time to eat ALL the Peeps and chocolate bunnies?
