Katie's Pasta Salad

1 large cucumber (diced)
1 package frozen green peas (cook as directed, drain and cool)

Cook corkscrew pasta according to directions, drain and cool.

Mine would have to be mock egg salad(made with chickpeas) on a whole wheat pita, with lettuce and cucumbers.....YUMMY ;)b
Curried Sweet Potato Salad!!
Coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad...and grilled vegan hotdogs with chili and onions!
Grilled corn on the cob and ripe, sweet, juicy watermelon.
Grilled corn on the cob and ripe, sweet, juicy watermelon.
when I was a kid we used to go to a festival back home(in illinois) called the watermelon/sweetcorn festival. That was a great, but messy festival!
Pasta salad (not the creamy kind, but the kind with an Italian-ish dressing) and cold watermelon! Or fake tuna salad samwiches and watermelon. The watermelon is a must.
stillflat9 made us that potato salad from Vcon one time. It was the bomb.
I kind of really really want this one. Cleaning supplies!
My favorite picnic food is Smoky Potato Salad
Sandwiches. Lots of different sandwiches.
Currently, a sandwich made with the Tempeh Bacon Revamped from Vegan Brunch (with lettuce, sundried tomatoes, mustard, vegenaise, ketchup, and toasted multigrain bread).
Burgers, or any grilled food!
when I go on a picnic it's always sandwiches - so I guess I'd have to say that that is my all time favorite picnic food.
Baguettes with Pebre Chileno! Mmmmmm!
I make a pesto/pasta salald thats yummy! and watermelon is a must!
Oooh, that's a tough one... I'm going to say sandwiches too. One of the last picnics I went on, we had BBQ hearts of palm on sourdough. Yum!
favorite picninc food for me would have to be my stepdads bombdiggity macaroni salad that I veganized. its truly awesome.
Quinoa Salad with black beans and lots of veggies!
Watermelon! Perfect food to eat outside because it's messy and you can spit the seeds on the ground.
