QQTW: What is your favorite picnic food

[Guest guest]

Cucumber Salad -

Pickling Cucumbers, peeled and sliced

Vidalia Onion(Sweet Onion) diced

Mayo or Veganaise

Pinch of Sugar

Salt to Taste

Lemon Pepper to taste

 

Mix together. Sometimes I also add fresh diced tomatoes and bell peppers to

this.

 

Haystacks

1 Lg. Can of Bush Chili Beans

1 bag of Fritos corn chips

Shredded Cheese

Sour Cream

Salsa

Vidalia Onion, diced

Lettuce, chopped

Tomatoes, diced

Bell Peppers diced

Cucumbers diced

Diced Black and Green Olives

 

Heat the Chili Beans. Mix Lettuce, Tomatoes, Bell Pepper and Cucumber

Together.

 

Organize the ingredients in order on the table like this. Corn Chips, Chili

Bean, Cheese, Sour Cream, Salad, Onions, Olives and Salsa

 

Each person makes their own Haystack when they are ready to eat. It will

get soggy if you make them up a head of time.

 

Put a bed of Corn Chips on your Plate, then a layer of hot Chili Beans,

cheese, sour cream, Salad, onions, Olives and Salsa. It is a quick easy

Meal.

 

Baked Beans

 

1 Lg. Can of Bush Baked Beans

5 Vegalinks or Big Franks, slice them up.

1 Vidalia Onion, diced

1 Tbsp. Smart Balance Spread

1 tsp. Mustard

1 Tbsp. Ketchup

 

Saute the onions in the Smart Balance and mix with the remaining ingredients

and heat thoroughly.

 

Sub Sandwiches.

I used the Worthington, Veggie Meat slices. They come in Bologno, Wham(like

Ham), " Chicken, Turkey and Corn Beef " .

Then sliced fresh veggies and Veganaise with lettuce. Keep wet ingredients

in a separate container until you make them, so bread doesn't become soggy.

 

 

Vega-Link Spread

Mash Worthington Vega-Link(like hotdogs, canned) and mix with Veganaise( put

into a food processor to make this go quicker). Add diced Onions, Celery

and sliced Olives. Put on Onion Rolls and put in Ziplock Bags.

 

" Chicken " Salad Spread

1 Can Worthington Fri-Chick, drained(save broth and freeze to put into a

soup)

Mayo or Veganaise

4 oz. Cream Cheese

1 Celery Stalk, chopped fine

1 Onion, finely diced

1 Tbsp Pickle Relish

 

Squeeze the Fri-Chik Pieces and put into a Food Processor along with the

Veganaise and Cream Cheese. Process until smooth. Dice the veggies on a

Mandoline. Add the remaining ingredients and take in a Tupperware container

in the cooler. Either spread on rolls or serve with crackers.

 

Seedless Watermellon, Cantalope, Seedless Grapes are always a hit. We love

Sun Chips also.
