Here’s Your Complete Passover Meal Plan

This year, March 27 kicks off the Passover holiday and many will celebrate with a traditional Passover Seder. While you may return to your favorite Seder recipes and kosher wines year after year, the rest of the week’s meals have much more wiggle room. To make things easy, we put together a kosher for Passover meal plan to last the entire holiday, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and side dishes.

Day 1 Breakfast: Yogurt & Honey Fruit Cups

This tasty combo of fresh fruit and creamy orange-kissed yogurt is guaranteed to disappear fast from your breakfast table. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Day 1 Lunch: Lemon Artichoke Romaine Salad

“I created this dish when I was trying to duplicate a very lemony Caesar salad,” recalls Kathy Armstrong of Post Falls, Idaho. “I think my version is not only delicious but more healthful, too!”

Goes Great With: Herbed Feta Dip

Day 1 Dinner: Easy Slow-Cooker Pot Roast

I love this easy pot roast Crockpot recipe for a couple of reasons. First, it’s delicious. Second, it’s easy! I can’t describe the feeling of walking into my house after work and smelling this dish that’s been simmering in the slow cooker all day. There’s nothing better. —James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor

Goes Great With: Jeweled Endive Salad

Day 2 Breakfast: Tropical Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

I have been making this quinoa, coconut, pineapple and mango dish since I was in high school. To make it even more tropical, add some diced papaya.—Billy Hensley, Mount Carmel, Tennessee

Day 2 Lunch: Tacos on a Stick

Teens like assembling these creative kabobs almost as much as they like devouring them. The whole family is sure to love the sensational Southwestern flavor of this twist on beef shish kabobs. —Dixie Terry, Goreville, Illinois

Day 2 Dinner: Savory Roasted Chicken

When you want an impressive centerpiece for Sunday dinner or a special-occasion meal, you can’t go wrong with this golden chicken or any of our other Passover chicken recipes. The moist, tender meat is enhanced with a hint of orange, savory and thyme. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Day 3 Breakfast: Turkey Breakfast Sausage

My hearty sausage patties are loaded with flavor but contain a fraction of the sodium and fat found in commercial breakfast links. —Judy Culbertson, Dansville, New York

The lemon juice gives this easy Waldorf salad quite a zip and the apples and nuts offer a nice crunch. It’s light, refreshing and effortless to assemble. —Chuck Hinz, Parma, Ohio

Goes Great With: Air-Fryer Potato Chips

Day 3 Dinner: Rosemary Salmon and Veggies

My husband and I eat a lot of salmon. One night, while in a rush to get dinner on the table, I created this rosemary salmon meal. It's a keeper! You can also include sliced zucchini, small cauliflower florets or fresh green beans. —Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington

Goes Great With: Potato Kugel

This traditional matzo ball soup recipe is worth the extra effort. If you prefer, you can add egg noodles instead of matzo balls. —Julia Sherman, New Market, Tennessee

Chops are without a doubt the cut of lamb we like best. I usually simmer them on low for hours in a slow cooker. The aroma is irresistible, and they come out so tender they practically melt in your mouth! —Sandy McKenzie, Braham, Minnesota
