Build a protein-rich picnic from the chiller.
no cooking
Equipment: None - no cooking
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 1 pack of sliced ham or cooked meat
- 1 small block or pack of cheese
- 1 small pot of olives
- 1 pack of cherry tomatoes
- ½ cucumber or a small bag of salad
Optional extras
- Small pack of nuts
Method
- Lay out the ham and cheese as the protein.
- Add the olives, tomatoes and cucumber.
- Eat it as a picnic plate, straight from the packs.
- Add a small pack of nuts if you want more crunch. Taste before adding salt — the olives already season the dish.
Swaps and tips
Choose thicker-cut, higher-meat ham over very thin processed slices. This is the classic ‘ploughman’s without the bread’ and travels well.
