Picnic ideas from elsewhere
Savoury
Baby kale salad with oranges, blueberries and pomegranate seeds (Hello Glow) - Salad with three types of fruit is my kind of salad!
Caprese sandwiches with garlic cashew cheese (Oh My Veggies) - I've never tried nut-based cheeses but these sandwiches have me intrigued.
Coconut roasted edamame (BBC Good Food) - A brilliant idea for edamame that I'm sure would work served cold as well as hot.
Curried tofu salad sandwiches (The kitchn) - A vegan twist on curried egg sandwiches.
Fruit and nut butternut squash quinoa (BBC Good Food) - I love the sound of the ingredient list (butternut squash, quinoa, dried apricots, pistachios, almonds and tahini).
Jamaican jerk tempeh wraps (The Taste Space) - The name says it all!
Southwest hummus wraps (Chef in Training) - These Mexican inspired wraps take hummus to a whole different level.
Eggplant pasta salad (Real Simple) - A summer-friendly cold pasta dish
Sweet
Fruit and nut chocolate truffle slice (Mouthwatering Vegan) - This looks like a mix between fruit and nut chocolate, a tiffin slice, and chocolate truffle filling.
Raspberry sponge tray bake (BBC Good Food) - Like a vegan Bakewell slice, which can only be good.

What are your favourite picnic dishes?
I've had many a picnic in the car and often South Asian style with samosas and pakoras/onions bhaji's! I love your picnic suggestion ideas, your ban mi sandwich is calling my name.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a car picnic in Welsh weather with South Asian food :-)
DeleteThere's some great picnic ideas here - or for any time. The year I lived in London, it was warm for 3 weeks in August and that was it.
ReplyDeleteI think that is not uncommon :P
DeleteThere are some incredibly great ideas here you'll be set for the whole summer . The weather is no longer how you'd expect it to be. Looking forward to your take on a few of these Kari
ReplyDeleteThanks Tania!
DeleteI tend to do hummus with vegie sticks and rice crackers as a picnic (or lunch) fallback! I love your ideas - though it is not at all picnic weather lately. I quite fancy the curried tofu sandwich and also was interested to return to your M&S salad and realise I have tasted it while in Scotland since you posted the recipe.
ReplyDeleteAh yes - I had forgotten that too. Hummus, veggie sticks and rice crackers is a great fall back.
DeleteI love that you have put together this list - I am going to give some of them a try. I keep meaning to do some tofu sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dannii - I hope you enjoy whatever you test out!
DeleteAh this post is so cute! What a great idea =) Definitely motivating me to get out and picnic.
ReplyDeleteI'm very fortunate to have picnic-ready weather basically all year 'round.
You should definitely take advantage of it!
DeleteWhat a cracking round-up! I love picnics, mainly because I get to spend lots of time planning what to cook and eat! The caprese sandwiches are calling to me!
ReplyDeleteI love the planning phase too - half the fun!
