More than 45 delicious vegan picnic recipe ideas have been collated from some of my favourite vegan bloggers! We all love a picnic, but sometimes get stuck doing a quick supermarket raid for hummus and carrot sticks. But with a tiny bit of prep, you can make a delicious vegan picnic that even the Famous Five would envy!
When heading out on any kind of picnic whether vegan or not, it's important to think of portability. Easy to eat sandwiches and hand held savoury snack foods are perfect. Salads that are pre-chopped and that can take a bit of a bashing as you search out the perfect spot to lay your blanket are also key. These yummy recipe ideas will keep your vegan and non vegan friends happy!
Of course, no picnic is complete without something sweet to finish, so I've also included here some great vegan sweet treats that are portable and won't end up melting or in a gooey mess. However be sure to take along some reusable napkins for the inevitable sticky fingers. And don't forget the lashings of Ginger Beer!
๐ฅชSandwiches
Yummy vegan sandwiches are probably the ultimate vegan picnic food. Mix and match these recipes so you can try a few different flavours. Sandwiches are also great if you're out hiking or on a longer walk as they don't require any cutlery or plates.
๐ฅSalads
Robust salads that don't mind a bit of bashing around while you search for the perfect picnic spot! Pretty much all of these are just as happy being eaten with a spoon, a fork, or squashed into a roll or a sandwich, or even eaten in a lettuce leaf! Versatile salads for the win!
๐ฅSavoury Snacks
Little snacky things to nibble on while drinking vegan rose or sipping a spritzer in the park! Not every picnic has to be a full on meal, sometimes you just need a little vegan snacky thing while you catch up with your besties! These yummy vegan snacky picnic recipes are perfect for just that.
๐งDips
Forget the store-bought hummus and make one of these dips for your vegan picnic instead! A batch of your own yummy dip or some spreadable cheese, along with some crudites, chips or crackers will elevate your picnic. Just be sure to avoid double dipping! (terrible manners even before the plague, even more so now!)
๐งSweet Treats
Round off your lovely vegan picnic with a sweet little something. Fresh fruit, a little choccy nibble or a lovely nutty wholesome bar. Some of these little snacks are also perfect for taking on hikes, for when your sugar levels dip & you need one last push to the summit!
Whether you're hanging out in your garden with friends, hiking up a mountain for some fresh air, or catching up with some of your favourite people in a park, we think these delicious vegan picnic ideas will definitely help your spring and summer plans along in the most delicious way!
