A collection of our favorite vegan picnic-friendly recipes for summer get-togethers. All plant-based, healthy, and crowd-pleasing!
1. Mexican Quinoa Salad
I love the fresh flavors and bursting colors of this dish - always a fun, festive addition to the picnic table!
2. Ultimate Greek Chopped Salad
I've made this salad countless times for gatherings with great response. It's wonderfully hearty because the garbanzo beans add texture, nutrients, and protein.
3. Healthy Texas Caviar
An oil-free, fresh, healthier take on traditional cowboy caviar that you can serve as is, or also bring chips for dipping.
4. Black Bean Lentil Salad with Cumin-Lime Dressing
Lentils and black beans are a lovely combination (that are also budget-friendly)!
5. Quinoa Tabbouleh
This ultra-fresh dip is great served with your favorite crackers (and also works as a salad)!
6. Avocado Veggie Sandwich
Sandwiches are a classic choice for picnics, and this veggie-packed sandwich with avocado is light, delicious, and can also be easily customized!
7. Quinoa Avocado Spinach Power Salad
One of my most-made salad recipes and also seems to be a great crowd-pleaser.
8. Edamame, Tomato, Corn Salad with Lemony Dressing
Edamame is a fun & often unique ingredient to bring to a gathering, and this is a wonderful salad that can easily be adapted.
9. Quinoa Vegetable Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing
Another colorful addition to the picnic table, this fresh salad is filled with healthy quinoa, veggies, then a garbanzo bean boost.
10. Fiesta Bean Salad
A great combo for scooping up with chips (or simply on it's own!)
Bonus: Blender Salsa
This recipe is quick and easy, plus it's great made ahead of time as the flavors intensify as it sits.
PS - this Strawberry-Lime Watermelon Slush is also a lovely summer refreshment.
