A selection of Walestable favorites that come together for the best of spring and make a great meal for family and friends to celebrate with.
This simple starter can be made a day in advance, and will pair with a slice baguette, some crackers, or a plate of crudités – Marinated Goat Cheese was posted back in June of 2021, and remains one of my favorite things to make for a party. https://walestable.com/marinated-goat-cheese-appetizer/
This Spring Panzanella uses pretty much every delicious green vegetable you can think of this time of year – customizable for your own tastes, the buttermilk dressing is both light and supremely flavorful. https://walestable.com/spring-panzanella/
This is a recent addition you likely just remembered you loved and forgot about – Chive Risotto Cakes from the Barefoot Contessa – mostly make ahead, these are both easy and decadent. https://walestable.com/chive-risotto-cakes/
Conveyor Belt Chicken – this is one of those recipes that HAD to be on the blog, and fits almost any occasion. It may not seem like it, but this could be the simplest star of the meal. “so good, you want a conveyor belt to run it into your mouth….” https://walestable.com/conveyor-belt-chicken-crispy-skin-chicken-thighs/
Last, this is another recipe from 2021, an early hit that you may have forgotten about – Summer Lemon Tart is as easy as anything but tastes incredibly complex – the perfect ending to a spring meal. https://walestable.com/summer-lemon-tart-graham-cracker-salted-pretzel-crust/
Happy Easter, Happy Spring… and let’s hope to see the sunshine soon
