All the Side Dishes You Need To Try This Easter

So you've prepared the main attraction for your Easter dinner, but everyone knows that the Easter side dishes are just as important when it comes to a great holiday feast — after all, that delicious ham recipe would just not be complete without mashed potatoes! Whether you're looking for traditional Easter recipes or a surprising side, we rounded up our best and most popular (and delicious!) options for your table. From roasted spring vegetables like green beans and carrots, colorful salads and more perfect-for-Easter veggies, there's a fresh option to serve next to your standout ham, lamb, or other main. Looking for something less, ahem, green? We've got creamy potatoes, buttery biscuits, flaky tarts and more carb-filled options. Our selects will fill up your plate with a healthy dose of vegetables, protein, and well, lots of butter.

If you're making a side to bring to a party, we suggest choosing something that's great at room temperature so yo don't have to ask your host to heat it when you arrive. Salads like the Spring Panzanella can be packaged separately from its croutons and dressing and tossed together on-site, or options like the Potato Salad With Vinaigrette only get better as they sit and taste delicious at any temp. Celebrating at home? Indulge in sides that are best eaten straight away, like crispy roasted asparagus or creamy mashed potatoes.
