What is Included in a Traditional Easter Dinner?
Of course, Easter dinner can be as formal or as casual as it suits you to be. Some prefer a sit-down feast, others celebrate with Easter brunch, and others might even gather with their families potluck-style. In general, however, a traditional Easter meal has a few key dishes that are classic to the holiday:
A roast or cooked protein, often ham or lamb Side dishes like spring vegetables and traditional hot cross buns Fresh salads with seasonal ingredients And last but not least, unforgettable desserts
