Break out the wicker basket! With this fresh and oh-so-tasty make-ahead menu, alfresco dining has never been easier. From a simple summer salad to a sweet treat for dessert, this picnic covers all the bases.
Cocktail (with a twist!)
Pimm's cup jellies
Charming little jars are easy to carry — and they give this picnic a retro-cool vibe.
Salad
Cucumber-potato salad
A make-ahead potato salad packed with herbs for a punch of fresh flavour.
Main
Niçoise muffuletta sandwich
Layer Mediterranean ingredients into a hollowed-out artisanal loaf to make the oversize sandwich. Pack it whole and bring a serrated knife to cut it up at the beach.
Dessert
Bourbon-pecan blondies
Rich, buttery dessert bars can be sliced at home. Wrapped with wax paper and a bit of simple twine, they're an edible present for guests.
