Step 1
Start your meal with soup. Take advantage of dairy cooking during Shavuot and try creamy soups. At lunchtime, a cool cucumber yogurt soup with dill is light and refreshing and goes well with sandwiches. You can also make onion soup topped with cheese.
-
Step 2
Prepare fish instead of meat for those who feel a dairy meal isn't satisfying. Gefilte fish always goes over nicely. Baked salmon is great for the main dish and goes well with vegetables and salads.

Step 3
Try a crustless quiche for the main dish. With a base of eggs, cheese and milk, you can add nearly any type of vegetable combination to make an interesting medley of flavors. Grated zucchini and potatoes make a mild dish. Add green onions and red pepper for a little more zest.
-
Step 4
Create a vegetable medley casserole to accompany your main dish. Add cheddar, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Parmesan or cottage cheese to the vegetables for some additional protein.
-
Step 5
Add feta or grated cheddar cheese to your salads. Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles and green onion into small squares and use an olive oil and lemon juice dressing for a side dish that goes well with your quiche.
-
Step 6
Learn to make blintzes, which are traditional Shavuot fare. These are crepes that typically contain a sweet cream cheese, cottage cheese or ricotta cheese filing. Add raisins to the filling or top with berries to celebrate the fruit of the season.

Step 7
Make a cheesecake for dessert, as it's traditional during Shavuot. You can make a chocolate cheesecake if you like, but include berry toppings.
