It’s picnic season and it’s not always easy to find inspirations when it comes to what to bring to a picnic. I’m a big fan of bread & cheese with wine but sometimes you just want a little bit more and something a little different.
Below you’ll find some of my favourite picnic recipes that are good for any occasion, easy to make and most importantly: easy to carry! Hope you enjoy :)

The Dips 🌱
I really love all dips and they are absolutely perfect for Picnics. Whether it’s Hummus, Muhammara or Baba Ganoush they are all super delicious and easy to make. Just bring some veggies and bread along to dip.
Herb Guacamole 🌱
This Herb Guacamole is made without tomatoes and instead using herbs and spices to give it an exceptional taste. In my opinion this herb guacamole is fluffier and lighter than many other versions which ask to add garlic, tomatoes and sometimes paprika

Bagels might be my newest obsession and they make for the perfect picnic bread. Add some cream cheese and avocado, smoked salmon or a BLT bagel and head to your favorite picnic spot.
Watermelon Feta Salad 🧀
This watermelon feta salad is absolutely amazing for a warm summer picnic. I like to add some pecan nuts and pomegranate seeds to give it an extra kick.
Vegan Rice Paper Spring Rolls 🌱
This Vegan Rice Paper Spring Rolls recipe is one of my favourite healthy things to eat and it’s also super fun to make especially for picnics. I like to make these rolls with multiple vegetables but my definite favourites are: carrots, cucumbers and baked tofu. There is also a delicious Peanut Sauce that you can make with it.

Pasta Salad 🌱
One of my favourite picnic foods is a nice pasta salad. You can make a classic pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, feta and arugula or add ingredients like: mozzarella, olives, peperoncini, red onion, parsley, cucumbers, zucchini etc

Honestly this is a classic but there aren’t many things that are better than a refreshing fruit salad on a warm summer day. I like to add seasonal fruits like peaches, apricots, melon and berries.
