Your Easter Menu

Easter Dinner is a great feast marking the end of Lent. While customs vary from country to country, decorating Easter Eggs are a common and fun activity. We also love eating chocolate eggs and those chocolate bunnies.

Easter falls at the beginning of Spring, so it features fresh, seasonal vegetables with vibrant green colors, like asparagus, peas and artichokes. For entrees, people traditionally eat lamb or ham dishes, so we've provided a recipes for both. Each family can create their own Easter meal traditions, so feel free to search FoodPair for your favorite menu items if you don't see them below.

To help you create a great Easter Menu from start to finish, we fired up the FoodPair search engine and found a handful of delicious dishes from across the Web.
