A Celebratory Easter Dinner

Welcome Easter and the arrival of spring by hosting a festive dinner for family and friends. Begin the meal with a colorful salad that combines crisp watermelon radishes with romaine lettuce, cilantro and an avocado vinaigrette. The centerpiece of the feast is a boneless leg of lamb that’s seasoned with herbes de Provence, then braised in a slow cooker until meltingly tender. Accompaniments include herb-roasted fingerling potatoes plus asparagus and morel mushrooms roasted with shallot butter. Dessert features a rustic tart, know as a galette, filled with strawberries and rhubarb—a classic springtime pairing.
