Making Delicious Easter Salad Recipes
Here are pro-tips on making the best Easter salads from Williams and Sonoma. They say salad mistakes are easily avoidable.
3 Common Salad Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
1. NOT DRYING LEAVES
Dry leaves with a towel or salad spinner; any water will prevent the dressing from adhering to greens and dressing will collect in the bottom of the bowl, making for a limp salad.
2. NOT TOSSING SALAD
It's worth it to hand-toss each salad just before you eat it; this ensures consistency in flavor throughout. Add in dressing a small amount at a time, re-shaking just before each use, to avoid over-dressing it.
3. NOT HITTING A RANGE OF FLAVOR AND TEXTURE NOTES
A good salad will hit multiple elements of taste (sweet, salty, sour, bitter) as well as texture (soft, creamy, crispy). Use ingredients like citrus, cruciferous greens and avocados to achieve this.

Citrus Farmers Market Salad
A citrus salad, perfect for Easter, drizzled with a lemon shallot dressing. Simple, festive, and delicious!
This simple Spring Salad recipe is healthy and full of fresh seasonal vegetables, including spring greens, bright radishes, cucumbers, peas, and herbs. Tossed together with an incredible lemon herb vinaigrette.
"Combining asparagus with two kinds of peas, this beautiful salad captures the freshness of the new season. The vegetables are cooked briefly in boiling water, a technique known as blanching, and then plunged into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color. To tame the bite of the raw shallot, we toss it with a little vinegar and let stand for a few minutes before tossing the salad."
Sweet, tangy and bursting with the fresh festive Easter flavors, this easy strawberry poppy seed salad is a gorgeous, versatile side dish to serve the second warm weather arrives.
This German Potato Salad is a simple hot potato salad recipe with fork-tender potatoes, savory bacon, and fresh parsley tossed in a delicious tangy dressing you will love.
"Peppery arugula, flavorful mint, salty pancetta and pungent Gorgonzola all add tons of flavor to this spring salad, which is why a simple dressing of Champagne vinegar and olive oil is best. This is the perfect salad to make when your garden is overflowing with fresh mint."
Warm Asparagus, Radish, and New Potato Salad with Herb Dressing
"Potato salad gets a makeover for the season with the addition of roasted asparagus and radishes. The tangy dressing can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator."
When the weather warms up in the spring, there's nothing I crave more than this spring salad. Light, bright, and packed with spring's best produce, it's a perfect example of why eating seasonally is so exciting.
"This salad works because of the layering of flavors. If it grows in the spring, I put it in this salad. Thinly sliced radishes, mint, slivered almonds, couscous and a lemon-mustard dressing."
"Easter Salad (AKA, Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad with Toasted Almonds & Lemon Honey Vinaigrette) is a beautiful, delicious addition to any spring or summer meal!"
