Picnic | Plant-Based Oil-Free Meal Plan

There’s something magical about eating outside—the sun on your face, a soft breeze, the buzz of conversation (or the calm of solitude). The Picnic plant-based oil-free meal plan was made for exactly that. Packed with creative, take-anywhere meals and just the right amount of gourmet flair, it’s all about loading up your favorite basket and heading to your happy place. Whether that’s a park bench, a shady forest trail, or your own backyard, these wholesome oil-free meals are ready for adventure.

Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan

Start things off with Beet Gazpacho and Pimento Cheese Pinwheels. The gazpacho is chilled, bright, and earthy, while the pinwheels are creamy, tangy, and just plain fun to eat. It’s the kind of combo that turns a quiet lunch break into a mini event.

“Perfect for a hot summer evening! Sooo full of flavour and simple to make. Me and my husband are not the biggest fans of beets, but this recipe just blew our minds. We make it several times each summer and also love to serve it to guests.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed this! It’s especially amazing when the weather is hot and you want something tasty to help cool you down.”

Next up are the Not-So-Crabby Patty Lettuce Wraps with Chipotle Remoulade and Fresh Orange Slices. These wraps are light but packed with ocean-y flavor, with a smoky kick from the remoulade that plays perfectly with the sweet, juicy orange slices. It’s a handheld situation that’ll have you licking your fingers.

For those wanting something stacked and layered, the Portobello Muffuletta Sandwich is a winner. Hearty mushrooms, punchy olive tapenade, and creamy spreads bring major picnic energy. On the side, there’s a simple salad with Sunny Artichoke Dressing that’s bright and fresh without stealing the spotlight.

“This was absolutely outstanding!”

Then there’s the Curry Tempeh Pecan Salad Stuffed Pitas, which pack a satisfying crunch and a little kick of sweet-savory curry flavor. Paired with Pimento Cheese Celery Boats and a handful of red grapes, it’s a total throwback to lunchbox days—but all grown up.

“I’ve made the curried tempeh salad several times. I sometimes substitute tofu for tempeh as it’s easier for me to find, and it’s still great.”
