It’s finally summer! The Dutch weather is finally starting to give us that summer feeling again. Do you want to enjoy the beach this summer? These are the tastiest snacks to take with you.
Wraps are always beach-proof
Wraps are always a handy snack to take with you when you go out for a day. They are filling and of course very tasty. You can fill them with anything and everything. For example, go for a combination of salmon and cream cheese or opt for hummus and falafel. Cut your wraps into thin, bite size pieces so you can easily share them.
Dips with crackers or vegetables
Nothing is as relaxing as lying on the beach while enjoying delicious dips. You can take a very wide range of dips with you in your cool box and enjoy them with your favorite crackers or vegetables. For example, think of hummus, guacamole, tzatziki and much more. There’s something for everyone and it’s easy to carry and store.
Some sweet baked goods
After some salty snacks, we can imagine that you will also feel like having something sweet. For example, you can take slices of banana bread or muffins with you to the beach. The paper of the muffin also makes it easy to eat without sand getting on your muffin. Taking some napkins with you is always useful because of crumbs.
A cooling gazpacho
Taking soup to the beach sounds a bit crazy. But a cooling gazpacho can be a very nice snack for the beach. Traditional gazpacho is made from tomato. This is a good option, but there are also a lot of other variations you can try. For example, go for a summery watermelon gazpacho.
Pasta salad can’t be missed
Pasta salads are great to take with you on the road. They can be served cold and you can compose them with any ingredients you like. For example, go for cherry tomatoes (or sun-dried tomatoes), olives, balsamic vinegar, mozerella and so on. You can easily take this with you in your cool bag. Extra tip: only add your lettuce when you are ready to eat it. If your lettuce sits in the dressing for too long, it will lose its crunch.
Fruit skewers for the kids
Finally, you can always please your entire group with fruit skewers during a day at the beach. These are great fun for the kids, but of course also for the adults. Fruit is nice and sweet but also refreshing, perfect for a hot day. Assemble your skewers with strawberries, grapes, watermelon and apple, for example.
