The May holidays are a time when families and friends get together to enjoy warm weekends, nature and, of course, delicious food. Going on a picnic on May Day has become a real good tradition. And to make the picnic perfect, YokoSun has prepared the top 5 recipes for simple and delicious dishes that are easy to prepare in the fresh air.
Tender kebab in kiwi marinade
Ingredients:
- Pork, 1.5 kg
- Ripe kiwi, 5 pcs.
- Onion, 1 bulb
- Thyme, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Surprisingly, kiwi marinade can make even tough meat soft and tender much faster than vinegar. And everyone will probably want to try shish kebab according to this recipe.
First, cut the onion into large rings and place it in the container in which the meat will be marinated. Cut the pork into large pieces and place on the onion. Cut the kiwi in half and squeeze the berries into a container with onions and meat. You can use a blender to make the kiwi pulp more homogeneous. Add thyme or other seasoning to taste, as well as salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients until the onion releases a little juice. Leave the meat to marinate for 2-3 hours, and then fry it on skewers.
Flavorful grilled vegetables with garlic sauce
Ingredients:
- Zucchini, 1 piece
- Eggplant, 1 piece
- Bell pepper, 2 pcs.
- Large tomatoes, 2 pcs.
- Greek yogurt, 500 gr.
- Garlic, to taste
- Lemon juice, to taste
- Greens, to taste
A simple recipe for an easy and tasty appetizer for meat - it only takes a few minutes to prepare.
Cut the vegetables into large circles and the bell peppers into large “petals.” Salt the vegetables and sprinkle them with lemon juice, and then simply roast on the grill. After just 10-15 minutes, the vegetables will be ready.
Add garlic sauce to add some spice to the dish. The preparation is also as simple as possible: mix Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and herbs. Serve the sauce separately - by the way, you will like it in combination with meat.
Children's chicken breast kebab
Ingredients:
- Chicken breast, 1 kg.
- Olive oil, 3 tablespoons
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Bamboo sticks for shish kebab.
Especially for children, you can prepare aromatic chicken skewers on bamboo skewers. The main thing is to soak the sticks in water, leaving them for about 20-30 minutes. This will prevent the sticks from catching fire.
Preparing the meat itself for frying is easy. Cut the breast into small pieces and put four on each stick. Brush the meat with olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper. Send the meat to fry on the grill, after 6-8 minutes the dish will be ready.
Spring salad with quinoa and avocado

- Olive oil, 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice and salt, to taste
A light salad adds variety to the picnic table. And due to unusual combinations of ingredients, it will surprise even gourmets.
It is necessary to boil the quinoa in advance: rinse the grain thoroughly or soak it in cold water. And then in a ratio of 1 to 2, cook it in water for about 15 minutes. Choose a ripe avocado for the salad: it should be dark green, not too hard, and without spots.
Cut the avocado and cucumber into large cubes and place in a salad bowl. Top with arugula, quinoa and pine nuts. Season with olive oil, lemon juice and salt, stir and serve the resulting salad.

Cover the bananas and chocolate with foil and place the future dessert on the grill. You need to bake the dish on coals for about 5-7 minutes. When the chocolate covered bananas are ready, pour caramel over them or sprinkle with chopped nuts.
