Non bread and non salad ideas for picnic when renting a cottage

fionajbanana

I cannot eat bread inc things like wraps. Salad is not always practical. I'll be staying at a few sc cottages this year and try to do my own lunch as its mse. Some sc places may not have the equipment or space to do everything plus do I want to spend an age doing lunch.

Got to be low fat as well

If these are available (other than the hummus and cheese) that are non-wheat and non-gluten. Assuming that the OP is intolerant in some way?

How about some bean type salads. Take one tin of chickpeas, lentils, butterbeans or other tinned beans. Drain it and some fish in water/saline. Add with lemon juice (the squeezy ones out of Lidl are fine), a little oil and then add some chopped veggies at the last minute (take them separately if possible); onion, tomato, cucumber etc.

Or take a boiled egg, quarter and add olives, tomato quarters and chopped onion plus fresh herbs.

cooked chicken legs, oven baked omelette (like quiche without pastry), cold sausage. Especially good if you can cook them at the same time as your evening meal the night before and allow to cool. Thin sliced ham wrapped round philly-lite type cheese. Raw carrots, celery, peppers etc and dip. Pickled onions.

Things like vegetable sticks, carrot, pepper, cucumber, celery, cherry tomatoes with salsa, guacamole or humous.

Cooked chicken, hard boiled eggs, rice cakes with cheese, cottage cheese, olives, tinned tuna mixed with either low fat mayo or a vinegarette dressing served with the rice cakes, oat cakes if you can have them, tortilla sliced into wedges, if you have a fridge you could do a large one and it would last a few days.

Things like grapes, blueberries, strawberries.

Things like chutney, pickled onions, gerkhins etc which go well with anything.

frittata, potato salad, savoury rice (add meat/fish), pasta salads - these can be bulk made so enough for 2/3 days and kept in the fridge.

i really like as a pasta salad - honey mustard chicken tonight heated up with some cooked chicken and then stirred into cooked pasta, nice hot or cold.

Dunno.. OP doesn't say they have any intolerances.. just that they don't eat bread or wraps.. neither do I but I'm not intolerant of the content I just don't like them.

gluten free bread is readily available.. but not nice.
