I'm having a picnic on Thursday and need some easy recipes, things that'll taste just as nice cold.
Crisp sandwiches and red TK aren't gonna cut it this time, so any ideas?

Tabbouleh

Serves 4

1½ tbs fine bulgar
100g fresh flat-leaf parsley, tough
stalks removed
2 tomatoes, sliced and then chopped
a handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 large spring onion, finely sliced and then chopped
sea salt and black pepper
3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbs lemon juice
75g each red and white seedless (or seeded) grapes, halved

Rinse the bulgar in a fine-mesh sieve and leave it on the side to absorb the remaining moisture. Chop the parsley, starting at the leaf end and working towards the stalk.

Combine the parsley, tomatoes, mint and onion in a bowl, then add some seasoning, olive oil and lemon juice and combine. Mix in the bulgar and the grapes, reserving a few to scatter over at the end, then pile the salad on to a plate or dish.

I second the Tabbouleh suggestion. Followed this recipe just there

Mint and mango tabbouleh

A refreshing yet substantial salad for accompanying almost anything. My current favourite is to eat this with grilled vegetables, but it is very good indeed with the grilled lamb below. Enough for 4 as a side dish.

150g cracked wheat

6 slim spring onions

a large, very ripe mango

a small, hot red chilli

8 bushy sprigs of mint

8 bushy sprigs flat-leaf parsley

juice of a lemon

olive oil

Pour the cracked wheat into a bowl and just cover with boiling water, then set aside.

Finely slice the spring onions, discarding the toughest of their leaves, then put into a mixing bowl. Peel the mango, cut the flesh from the stone in large slices, then cut into small dice and add to the spring onions.

Seed and finely chop the chilli, then roughly chop the mint and parsley leaves and add to the mango and onions. Pour in the juice of the lemon, a couple of tablespoons ofthe olive oil, and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Rough the cracked wheat up with a fork, making sure it has absorbed all the water. Crumble into the mango and onions, stir in a glug or two of olive oil - the grain should not be wet - then serve.
