HEALTHY SUMMER PICNIC

This would be one of my happy picnic or happy meals with the emphasis on Healthy: low fat/cholesterol and carbs, lots of fibre, plenty of fresh vegetables or fruit.  Something for everyone.



Dieters' Delight: Smooth & creamy but dairy free & minimal salt

A large thermos of this wonderful chilled tomato-based gazpacho, maybe with a bit of vodka for adults, is the perfect starter, served in cups in small portions. 


Lower-fat/Salt Spanokopita: Vegetarian, Butter-free cylinders of Greek Spinach, Egg & Feta Pie
Lower-fat & salt but fabulously tasty version of a Greek favourite...
For a picnic, form into 2 fat cylinders.  Either pack into stiff-sided containers and slice on site, or slice beforehand and pack with serviettes protecting each layer. 


Southern Spiced Unfried Chicken: inspired by you-know-who, this succulent crispy chicken is low-fat, low-calorie and delightfully spicy. 
The taste, crunch and juiciness of a high street brand but better
and much much healthier. 'Sensational!' Tasters


 
New Potatoes Vinaigrette:  Mayo-free, easy-peasy, with radish & red onion
This potato salad is flavoured with vinaigrette, not a creamy dressing and is so delightful you'll wonder why it's not offered more often. 


Pineapple slices/wedges served cold or at room temperature; juicy and glorious  on a hot day; prepare the day before


A bag of small multi-coloured tomatoes, celery & cucumber sticks
