For the upcoming easter 2025 celebrations, we are hosting friends and family, so I’ve made three vegetarian easter menus.

#1: Greek easter menu: Greek spinach pie, spicy feta dip, greek cucumber salad, brioche bread.

#2: Italian easter menu: No-knead focaccia, asparagus soup, vegetarian lasagna, spinach cannelloni, lemon olive oil cake, cannoli.

#3: Midwestern easter menu: Lentil meatloaf, dill potato salad, macaroni salad, easy carrot cake with cream cheese.
