Bring on the dairy dishes! Here are My Shavuot Favorites! This post is packed with my most delicious entrees, salads, desserts, and more!
There is nothing better than a holiday that features beautiful dairy meals!
But first! Don’t forget!
Don’t forget that any holiday meal should begin with My Most Delicious Challah!
For a real festive challah that’s a show stopper in both looks and flavor, bake up Saffron & Orange Blossom Celebration Challah.
For the most gorgeous breakfast you’ve ever had in your life, prepare my Almond Croissant Breakfast Challah (also featured in The Nosher).
Small Plates & Salads:
Spicy Marinated Olives: There is nothing more delicious that a plateful of these beauties!
Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas are an addictive crunch you need on top of any salad or simply served in a bowl for snacking.
Roasted Beet Salad with Pistachio Mint Dukkah is light and refreshing.
Obsessively Delicious Corn Avocado Salad is exactly as it sounds. It’s crunchy and bright and flavorful. Excellent for lunch.
Almost Ran’s Perfect Moroccan Carrot Salad is my children’s favorite salad! I roast my carrots instead of boiling them. It’s earthy and deep with a twist of lemon and garlic.
Strawberry Crunchy Quinoa Salad is light and perfect for warmer weather. You can replace the crunchy quinoa with crunchy chickpeas for a bigger crunch.
Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad is wonderful for a crowd! This salad is all about the knife work but well worth the effort.
If you’re going to make one salad, Chopped Salad with Feta & Crunchy Chickpeas is the one! Trust me.
Main Dishes:
Buttery Pappardelle with Mushrooms and Fresh Sage is my top performing recipe on the blog!
One Pan Mediterranean Fish With Olive and Tomatoes is the fastest recipe to prepare, elegant, and delicious! Use bronzini fillets or cod!
I make butternut and sage baked pasta once a week. It’s the family favorite that is filing, comforting, and just so delicious!
Triple Cheese & Tomato Tart takes a few steps, but is very elegant and delicate.
Eggplant Rollatini is a show stopper entrée that you simply MUST make! It’s perfect for a celebration or a simple weeknight dinner all year long!
Desserts and Baked Goods:
No Bake Cheesecake Mousse is all the cheesecake fun without the baking and the wobble!
No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream and Nectarine No Churn Ice Cream (no sweetened condensed milk) are my take on no-churn ice cream without the sweetened condensed milk, without the ice cream maker, and less sugar.
Apricot & Nut Dark Chocolate Truffles is another wonderful no-bake recipe that is a showstopper dessert! They are also an elegant hostess gift!
For a warmed dessert, try my Healthier Apple Cranberry Crumble or Passover Pear-Raspberry Almond Crumble. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Petite Hiwaij Walnut Coffee Cakes are spiced with warming notes of coffee hiwaij and walnuts. This recipe was featured in the Jewish Sweet Cookbook.
For a simple, creamy alternative to cheesecake, try my Raspberry Citrus Morning Cake.
