M&S SOUR CREAM & JALAPENO COMBO MIX, 150g

The problem with these is that once you start eating, it’s hard to stop. Nice for a bit of spice.
CO-OP PITTED QUEEN GREEN OLIVES WITH GARLIC, 150g

Nice and succulent and with a lovely lemon and herb dressing to give them a touch of zing. A classic done well.

SAINSBURY’S TASTE THE DIFFERENCE QUINOA, ALMOND & CASHEW SALAD, 195g
£2..25, Sainsbury’s
The quinoa in this salad makes it feel like a healthy choice – despite being quite high in fat from the nuts. The soy and tamarind dressing is delicious.
CO-OP GRO, 4 DARK CHOC CHUNK COOKIES, 220g

These are made using vegan ingredients, but non-vegans probably wouldn’t be able to detect any difference in taste. The only problem is, do you really want to share them?

Wash your picnic goodies down with this tangy and refreshing cloudy lemonade. Made with Mediterranean lemons.
