I spend a lot of time in west Wales, where there are some breathtaking spots to picnic, but they all involve much more of a hike than carrying a basket or cool box will allow. My solution is this recipe – it’s homemade and far more special than a bag of crisps with a sandwich, but still transportable enough to be wrapped tightly and slipped into a rucksack. Packed with all the main ingredients from a Greek salad, it’s a meal in itself, but you can dress it up on location with some sliced ham, charcuterie or a pot of your favourite dip.
