2) Brisket
Brisket is one of the most recognizable Passover staples. It's unclear how that actually happened, but seeing as the holiday is a celebration of the Jews being freed from slavery in Egypt, it makes sense that a large hunk of meat would be a part of the feast, as it can feed a whole bunch of people.

10) Grilled Chicken Salad with Cherry-Balsamic Dressing
No bread in sight! Just swap the red wine vinegar in the dressing for lemon juice (or something equally tangy), and you're good to go.

12) Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Quinoa with Warm Red Onion Vinaigrette
Another gluten-free dish that's entirely OK for the holiday. (ICYMI, the Orthodox Union declared certain brands of quinoa kosher for Passover!) And again, swap vinegar for something tangy.

13) Spicy Coconut Salmon
A little bit of spice (if you didn't get enough with your horseradish and maror earlier) never hurt anyone either.

14) Zucchini Ravioli
There's no meat in this ravioli, so the dairy is totally fine.

15) Bundt Pan Roast Chicken
Chicken is also oftentimes found at Passover as an accompaniment to brisket. It's easy to weave even more veggies into it, as root vegetables will roast nicely with the meat.

16) Caprese Zoodles
Did I mention there's a lot of heavy food happening at the Seder table? Yeah, this is just another alternative to that. Leave the vinegar out completely or squeeze the juice of a lemon on top.

17) Roasted Salmon with Strawberry-Arugula Salad
More fish and veg. Just let it happen. Choose a Passover-friendly dressing that's not balsamic vinegar and pick a K for P mustard to use.

18) Matzo Lasagna
It's just arguably the best way to eat matzo, though it's not exactly a "traditional" Passover dish.

19) Slow-Cooker Pot Roast with Peas and Asparagus
Your crock pot does the work and you get credit for all the amazing flavor. Many people don't eat peas during Passover, and they can easily be left out of this dish.

23) Ginger-Glazed Salmon with Charred Broccoli
Free up oven space by making this fish-and-veggie duo on the grill, which is a really fun addition when most everything else has been roasted or boiled.
