15 Recipes For Spring Celebrations

{ Via: Half Baked Harvest }

It's been a minute since I have done a recipe roundup. With all of the spring celebrations upon us ~ Easter, Passover, Mother's Day, I think it is time.  Enjoy these 15 celebration worthy recipes.

Cheers to Passover, Easter, and Mother's Day. I am not a martini drinker but this looks and sounds delicious! You can make it with vodka or gin.

Delish

Roasted Rack Of Lamb With Basil

 Goat Cheese Sauce

We have made this dish many times, but never with the delicious sounding sauce. I bet it is great on so many entrees!

Half Baked Harvest

Vegan Mushroom Wellington

What a fun juicy twist on the classic beef Wellington. Inside you'll find carmelized onions, baby spinach, and mushrooms.

Oh My Veggies

Marinated Goat Cheese Strawberry Crostini

I love serving crostini. It's always so attractive on the serving platter. I have noticed that men really enjoy this type of appetizer. Maybe it's the bread?

Half Baked Harvest

Spice Crusted Ham With Brown Sugar Glaze

What a beautiful presentation! This ham is plated cut side down. It's a good idea as it really helps with heat retention, and makes it much easier to carve.

Bon Appetit

Roasted Potato Galette With Cream Fraiche and Smoked Salmon

I can just hear the oohs and ahhs from the crowd now. Very gourmet and I bet good.

Pure Wow

Asparagus Crunch Salad

What a satisfying recipe. It features a tangy lemon dressing, crumbled blue cheese and toasted walnuts. 

How Sweet Eats

Lemon Meringue Tart

Spring on a platter! I have never made a tart, but this is tempting. That meringue has my mouth watering.

Pastry Living

Strawberry Cobb Salad

Well this is quite a show stopper! One might say it is dressed to impress. And in this case the dressing is a dairy free Ranch, but you could top it with one of your faves.

Pure Wow

Smoky Ham, Cheese & Potato Frittata

This delicious looking dish features smoked gouda, and that's all I really need to know. It also calls for sharp cheddar, smoked ham, baby new potatoes, shallots, and chives. Yum!

Boulder Lo Cavore

Blackberry Salad With Arugula & Basil

Well! Isn't this pretty? It's all topped off with a maple balsamic dressing.

Feasting At Home

Charcuterie Board Flatbread

This is a genius recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to assemble, looks appealing, and is said to be a 5 star crowd pleaser.

Pure Wow

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mousse Cakes

Oh my! These little cakes are so very pretty.  There's a few steps to this dessert, but the end result looks so celebration worthy.
Love & Olive Oil

Spring Salad With Berries and Bacon
Oh this would be a hit in my household! It's spring in a bowl. The dressing is a sweet strawberry honey vinaigrette. Mmmm!

Southern Living

Coconut Macaroon Sundaes

Seder Sundaes anyone? Actually, these stylish sundaes would be good for any spring celebration, but especially fun for Passover.
