Picnic Ideas

My dh bought me a whole picnic set for Mother's Day, which I love! Does anyone have any fun ideas for things we could pack for picnics? We are foodies, so we'll eat almost anything!

I'll cut cheese slices and bring some crackers. Hummus, too!

Grapes/Berries

Sandwiches (pesto, cheese, lettuce, tomato on fresh bread)

crudites (cucumber, broccoli, cherry toms with hummus or dip)

I always make a Spanish Omlette (Tortilla) and bring it along cold. One of my favorites. I also like cold chicken salads.

You can make any number of nice things with puff pastry that are nice for a picnic!

Re: Picnic Ideas

Thanks! Any other ideas?

We went to our favorite sandwich shop today for gourmet sandwiches, but for what we spent, we could pack a really gourmet lunch!

Italian meats, cheeses, olives, roasted peppers, sundried tomatoes and fresh crusty italian bread or french baguette. Had a picnic with friends recently and this is what we packed. For dessert we had grapes, assorted berries and home baked cookies.
