With plenty of green peas and fresh mint, this rice salad is bright tasting and extremely pretty. If you can get them, crisp sugar snap peas, trimmed and thinly sliced, make an even sweeter substitute for the green peas.

Honey and Chile Glazed Carrots

Caramelized carrots, glazed with honey and spiked with a little chili, are a sweet and spicy change from the usual buttered rounds.

Spring Herb Salad with Radish and Parsley

Herbs, tangy radishes, and soft butter lettuce make this salad seem like the essence of spring. It wilts pretty quickly after it's dressed, however, so make sure everyone is at the table before you toss.

Brown Sugar and Spice Baked Ham

A gorgeous, glistening centerpiece to an Easter meal, glazed baked ham is perfect for a crowd. This makes a lot of ham, but leftovers will disappear in a flash, and you can even use the bone to add flavor to bean soups.
5
Buttery Easter Layer Cake with Lemon Curd

In this festive cake, velvety cake layers sandwich a sweet-tart curd citrus filling and are topped with plenty of billowing buttercream frosting. If you don't have time to make the buttercream, you can frost the cake with sweetened whipped cream instead. It makes a lighter, more cloudlike frosting that's just as satisfying.
