25+ Best Easter Side Dishes

 

These Easter side dishes are the perfect accompaniment to any main course dinner!

Easter is quickly approaching, and it, like most holidays, is full of special family traditions. The hearty feast is my favorite part of Easter.

It’s delightful to see your dining table piled high with delectable dishes such as roasted pork, glazed ham, and lamb. However, Easter isn’t all about the major courses.

Without the accompaniments, each celebration feast is incomplete. “You can never have too many sides!” they say.

So we’ve put together a list of all of our Easter Sunday favorites. Serve crowd-pleasing dishes such as peas and prosciutto, creamy mac and cheese, roasted asparagus, and more!
