Summer is here and that means picnic season! One of our favourite things to do on Sunday afternoons is to go on a hike and have a nice little lunch. Living so close to the mountains means the views are always spectacular. We love our food around here, but it’s being in nature that appeals to us the most.
However, there is something to be said about a packed picnic lunch. Enjoying it in the wilderness is something truly special and hard top in my books.
Picnic Recipes in a Jar
To mix things up a bit this summer, I thought we could try some recipes in a jar. Everything in a mason jar seems way more fun, and I love how handy and mess-free these little guys are. I think you’ll enjoy these delicious picnic take-along recipes!

Picnic Jar Recipe Tips
- Prepare food and drinks in jars the day before for quick and easy picnic packing. Store-bought salads, dips and veggies can be transferred to individual jars too.
- Stack jars in cooler or basket with ice packs.
- After eating, place jar lids back on before repacking to keep everything mess-free.
- For easy cleanup, place jars in dishwasher as soon as you arrive back home.
