My family has recently started an Easter tradition that I just love. Easter lunch/dinner used to be a big meal that we did that required almost as much cooking as Thanksgiving, but let's face it, Easter weather is way too beautiful to spend the whole day in the kitchen. Even if you love being in the kitchen. So lately we've been doing a salad sandwich bar, plus one or two must-have side dishes. The salads are best served on large fluffy croissants or hawaiian rolls, and our favorite side dishes are deviled eggs and mac n cheese. Here's a list of the regulars. Most of these are done to taste, so I'll add and update the recipes as they get perfected.
