Ideas for picnic recipes
It’s time for al fresco dining, soaking up the sun and lovely picnics. Here are three delicious little dishes that are easy to pack along with a bottle of lemonade and high spirits. The aim is to make practical dishes that don’t require much preparation when you arrive.
BRUSCHETTA WITH STRAWBERRIES AND CASTELLO DOUBLE CREAM BRIE
We’ve gone with a bruschetta with strawberries and Castello Double Cream Brie. Strawberries are generally associated with the sweet kitchen, but they also go very well with the creamy white cheese. If you have some ham or tomatoes, bring them along, too, and you practically have a bruschetta buffet.
PIEROGIS WITH SALMON, SPINACH AND CREAMY BLUE
Baked goods always make a lovely addition to a picnic and pierogies make the perfect finger food. Substitute the smoked salmon with chicken or ham, if you don’t fancy fish. Or try making a vegetarian version with sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
COARSE SALAD TO-GO WITH HAVARTI
The salad adds some crispy freshness. We’ve chosen coarser veggies that can be transported in a container without becoming damaged. This is also why all the ingredi-ents are packed separately. Herbs tend to wilt quickly once they’ve been coated in dressing. We went with Havarti for its mild flavour, which add lovely creaminess to the salad. So it’s not just a salad, but more like a meal. This salad also works well as a packed lunch.
