MOTHER’S DAY RECIPES FOR A GREAT FAMILY CELEBRATION

31. Dill-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Farro, Feta, Pea, and Blistered Tomato Salad

Brimming with the zesty taste of citrus and dill, this Mother’s Day brunch or dinner idea, featuring greens and grains, is quick to prepare. The addition of peas and burst cherry tomatoes brings a hint of sweetness, complemented by the salty sharpness of feta cheese.

30. Grilled Steak Salad with Arugula and Walnut Dressing

In this dish, which comes together in just around 30 minutes, peppery arugula meets sharp blue cheese, thinly sliced Honeycrisp apple, toasted pecans, and—the pièce de résistance—bacon fat croutons.

For these decadent croutons, torn sourdough pieces get tossed in bacon drippings and oven-toasted. We love the tangy flavor and texture that sourdough bread gives these croutons, but you can use any leftover loaf.

Tearing the bread rather than cutting it into cubes gives you lots of crags where the bacon fat can pool and crisp.

29. Lemony Risotto With Asparagus and Shrimp

This sophisticated shrimp risotto makes an ideal Mother’s Day meal. Infused with the fresh zest of lemon and seasonal asparagus, it’s a fitting choice for a springtime celebration.

28. Sheet-Pan Garlic Butter Salmon & Asparagus

Experience the delight of a hassle-free dinner with our easy-to-prepare sheet-pan Mother’s day dinner idea. This culinary delight features succulent salmon accompanied by crunchy asparagus and tender red onions.

To ensure an impeccable cooking balance, we start by roasting the vegetables, allowing them to develop a slight sweetness and ideal texture. The salmon is introduced midway, ensuring it cooks to a slightly crispy yet moist perfection.

Enhancing this dish is our specially crafted garlic-infused butter blend, which is added during the latter cooking stage. This prevents any chance of burning, while the unique blend of ingredients in our garlic butter elevates the dish beyond the ordinary.

This delightful combination promises a meal where every bite is infused with perfectly balanced flavors and textures.

This amped-up version has a little lemon zest and juice to help cut through the richness and chopped parsley for color and freshness. Spooning the delicious butter over the fish and veggies pulls everything together—and it all comes together in 30 minutes! Talk about a weeknight winner.
