No spring party is complete without a delicious dinner menu — but if it’s your first time hosting a party, you might have a hard time finalizing what meals you wish to serve. To get started planning your next gathering, here’s a look at several spring party menu ideas.
Vegetables
There’s no better way to welcome the coming of spring and the blossoming of flowers than by making bright green vegetables a prominent part of your menu. Of course, eating vegetables is important for a healthy diet, so it’s important to include them in your spring dinner party menu regardless. While there are a wide variety of different salad options to choose from, whether it’s simple spring greens or something more complex with a wild dressing or vinaigrette, there are more creative and fun ways to serve vegetables.
An arrangement of cucumbers, asparagus, and other vegetables on a platter pair incredibly well with a delicious dip. From salmon dip to feta dip, this easy and tasty method of serving vegetables will be a welcome addition to your spring dinner party menu. However, it’s possible to incorporate spring greens throughout the entire meal. Whether you plan to substitute the pepperonis and olives on a flatbread with scallions and herbs or serve veggie burgers, fresh vegetables will also have a place on the plate of a spring event.
Main Course
Now that the cold weather has been left behind in the winter, it’s time to go outside and get your grill ready for cooking. From lamb chops to flank steaks, there’s no shortage of grilling options to choose from. If you want a more seasonal entree for your spring dinner party menu, consider serving wild salmon. Additionally, having a fresh fruit compote accompany your meat dish will help give it an extra touch of spring.
Of course, it’s important to consider vegetarian spring party menu ideas so that everyone has something to enjoy. Egg noodles, penne, linguine, and more all make for excellent pasta choices that can be accompanied by fresh spring greens to give it more seasonal flair. Further, risotto dishes are another popular choice and can be elevated using some lemon juice and zest.
Dessert
No spring dinner party menu is complete without dessert. While there’s nothing stopping you from serving seasonal fruit with freshly made cream as your dessert, there are many more options available. Scones and tarts made with seasonal fruits are an excellent way to give guests a bite of spring. Consider using rhubarb, as it peaks in early spring and is a popular choice for desserts because of its tartness, which complements the sweetness of other fruits like strawberries.
