Romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner Ideas
Whether you’re celebrating with your S-O for the first time or the tenth, you’ve probably already given some thought to your Valentine’s Day dinner ideas. You can show your love with a DIY gift, pink cocktails or a V-Day fruit salad, or you can whip up a fancy-schmancy (and romantic) dinner. Here are our favorite ideas for a date night meal to remember.
Air Fryer Salmon
Air fryer salmon is a great Valentine’s Day dinner idea for anyone who works long hours and doesn’t want to spend hours upon hours in the kitchen. Plus it’s healthier than your other frying options! Not a fan of salmon? Try chicken or potatoes for other yummy options. (via Brit + Co)
Red Sauce Rigatoni Recipe
All you need for this delicious date night recipe is sausage, canned tomatoes, and pasta. And don’t forget your favorite cheese, of course. This is a great option for having a fancy dinner at the dining table or curling up on the couch for a romantic movie. (via Brit + Co)
Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken
Quick, easy, and delicious, what’s not to love about this chicken recipe?! Tomato-y, buttery chicken goes great with flavorful naan and white rice. Sprinkle with cilantro before you serve. (via Brit + Co)
Charcuterie Board

There’s something so sophisticated and stylish about having a charcuterie board anytime of year, but especially on Valentine’s Day. You can make it a red, pink, and white color scheme with fruit, dried flowers, and cheese, or try your hand at a breakfast-for-dinner board with heart-shaped pancakes, berries, and chocolate.
Zucchini Noodles
If you’re avoiding regular pasta, try zucchini noodles instead of regular for a healthy take on your favorite dishes. Serve with pesto, salad dressing, or tomato sauce. (via Brit + Co)
Cauliflower And Burrata Valentine’s Day Recipe

This dish might be geared for summer picnics, but it will also make a great option for your winter nights in. Change up the spices and seasonings depending on what your favorite flavors are, or make a couple different mixes and try them all! (via Brit + Co)
Cauliflower Rice Sushi
Not only does sushi make for a yummy Valentine’s Day dinner for you and your S.O. but the actual construction of the sushi sounds just as great! Swap regular rice for some DIY cauliflower rice but feel free to keep your favorite fillings and sauces. (via Brit + Co)
Baked Hot Chocolate Doughnuts

Okay so donuts don’t technically count as an option for dinner but you can definitely make them for dessert! You can even add some espresso to the chocolate glaze for a mocha taste. (via Brit + Co)
Smoked Salmon Poke Bites
For charcuterie board fans or those of us who’d rather much on apps than have a full-blown dinner, these poke bites are cute, delicious, and have us dreaming of summer. Pickled ginger, avocado, and red onion take this recipe to a new level. Yum! (via Brit + Co)
Stuffed Avocado
Another great option for a smaller, finger food dinner, stuffed avocados make for a tasty and filling dish. You can also leave out the shrimp to make this an easy meat-free recipe. (via Brit + Co)
Strawberry & Cream Croissant French Toast

Whether you’re making brunch or having brunch for dinner, this is a great French toast-croissant hybrid. Swap the drizzle of maple with a chocolate drizzle to make it extra Valentine-esque. (via Brit + Co)
Sous Vide Steak
Prepare to swoon over this simple sous vide steak. Pair it with a baked potato and steamed veg. (via Brit + Co)
Spicy Pesto Pasta Alla Vodka

You know we love vodka cocktails, so we are all about some vodka pasta! It’s a 30-minute recipe topped with basil pesto and loads of your favorite cheese. Swap the vodka for broth or water if you don’t want to cook with alcohol. It’ll taste just as good! (via Brit + Co)
Crispy Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs

Roasted Salmon Nicoise
This one-pot wonder is great for any day of the week. Salmon, potatoes, olives, and green beans (along with some other delicious ingredients) come together to create a flavorful combo that you’ll daydream about until you can eat it again. (via Brit + Co)
Shrimp and Gnocchi With Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce
If you’re both eating garlic, then you won’t have to worry about dreaded “garlic breath” after. Shrimp and gnocchi are already amazing on their own, but put them together for a powerhouse meal that everyone will want. (via Damn Delicious)
Soul-Warming French Onion Pot Roast
Nothing says love like pot roast. This particular iteration boasts the flavors of onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, fresh apples, thyme, celery, and bay leaf. (via Little Spice Jar)
One-Pan Cheesy Spaghetti Pie Valentine’s Day Dinner Idea
Permission granted to have your own Lady and the Tramp moment while feasting on this dish. For a healthier version, feel free to sub turkey or chicken for ground beef and whole wheat spaghetti for the refined version. (via Half Baked Harvest)
Cuban Mojo Marinated Pork
With classic Cuban flavors, this mouthwatering pork recipe is juicy and moist. Pro tips: Spring for a high-quality meat source from your local butcher or farmers’ market, and marinate the pork overnight to make this top-notch recipe even tastier. (via The Food Charlatan)
Strawberry Ravioli With Balsamic and Basil
These naturally pink ravioli are packed with decadent flavors and topped with a balsamic reduction for a sweet and savory combo. Plus considering it’s Valentine’s Day, we’ll take all the pink food that we can get our hands on. (via A Beautiful Mess)
Slow-Cooker Cassoulet
Don’t fear the cassoulet. It’s not as tricky to make it as you might imagine. Toss it all into the slow cooker for restful meal prep. (via Leite’s Culinaria)
Spinach and Three Cheese Manicotti
Pasta dishes have a certain sensuousness to them, and this indulgent, cheesy manicotti dish cries out for a cozy and lovey-dovey night in. Feel free to use store-bought marinara sauce or make your own. (via The Cooking Jar)
Skillet Chicken Pot Pie
Have a busy Valentine’s Day schedule? Get a head start with this slow-cooker recipe. About a half an hour before mealtime, pop some veggies in the oven to serve alongside the dish. (via Plays Well With Butter)
Creamy Masala Mussels
Mussels are delicate, fleshy, and delicious and lend a hand to any full-bodied sauce. The beer base will require all the bread to sop up every last drop of goodness. (via Drizzle and Dip)
Fettuccine Alfredo Valentine’s Day Dinner Idea
Forget lightened-up, pre-made sauces; fettuccine Alfredo is meant to be rich and delightfully naughty. It features Parmesan and heavy cream, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. (via Two Peas & Their Pod)
Coffee Rubbed Steak With Chili Lime Butter
Nothing says high class quite like a well-cooked steak. Take it from the pros and cook it medium-rare for the most intense flavor. We love the classic steak and baked potato combo, but feel free to shake things up with a different side. (via Brit + Co)
Creamy Coconut Lentil Curry
This curry recipe is *bursting* with healthy proteins and fats. Bonus: Your leftovers will be easy to reheat and use up throughout the week. (via The Endless Meal)
Paleo Pot Roast
This healthful, Whole30-approved pot roast doesn’t skimp on yum factor even though it’s made with completely clean ingredients. (via Noshtastic)
Creamy Vegan Tomato Sauce
This plant-based tomato sauce blends cashews, roasted tomatoes, and onions. It is so good, the non-vegans in your life won’t mind eating it too. (via Fit Foodie Finds)
Instant Pot Butternut Squash
A healthy, colorful dish like this butternut squash recipe makes for a great dinner recipe for vegetarians and carnivores alike. Plus it makes for an awesome winter comfort food. (via Brit + Co)
