1. Sweet Potato Spring Rolls

Noodles get subbed out for a ginger, carrot, and sweet potato salad—and bonus, no utensils needed.

2. Spicy Fish Tacos With Corn Salsa

The corn salsa and tzatziki sauce add something extra special to these classic fish tacos. Have people load up their tortillas in real time, to avoid any soggy drama.

3. Bliss Salad With Tahini Chia Seed Dressing

The tart grapefruit, peppery radishes, and crisp arugula create a flavor combo that’s unexpected and refreshing. Citrus FTW!

4. Fresh Mint Guacamole

Just when you thought guac couldn’t get any better, the geniuses behind Australian vegan restaurant Smith and Daughters go and add mint. And yes, that one ingredient majorly upgrades the taste.

5. Watermelon, Grapefruit, and Blackberry Salad With Honey Mint Drizzle

Don’t skip the honey mint drizzle—it’s what absolutely makes this dish a winner.

6. Cauliflower Rice Tabbouleh

Your gluten-free friends will dish out heaps of this un-grain dish, spiced up with red wine vinegar and lemon pepper.

7. Firecracker Salad

Red napa cabbage gives this side dish a major dose of color. And it’s fiery in flavor, too, thanks to the jalapeno-cilantro dressing.

8. Asparagus Sandwich With Pea Basil Creme

A sandwich is a picnic staple, but this one—made with asparagus and a pea-basil spread on sourdough bread—totally redefines what it means to get your greens.

9. Chocolate-covered figs

All you need for this recipe is figs, dark chocolate, almonds, and sea salt—it doesn’t get much cleaner than that!

10. Key Lime Pie Strawberries

Pro tip: Keep the filling in a little container separate from the scooped strawberries, and just have people fill ’em as they eat to make it super easy to transport.
