I remember that when I was a kid we used to go on an adventure often. I and my sisters made sandwiches and pancakes, picked some berries and packed a bag full of treats just in case we got hungry when we were “discovering the world”. As soon as we got out of the house we headed to the lilac bushes in our backyard and started to eat our food. It was so nice to lay on a blanket, enjoy the sunshine and good food.
Now, as soon as the summer comes, I’m starting to plan picnics. It’s a great way to get out of the city, enjoy nature and spend quality time with my family.
After a couple of hours discovering nature and playing with our daughter, we are famished. It seems that whenever we are eating outdoors, everything seems to taste better! That’s why I always pack a delicious picnic basket, where there is a favorite dish for everyone.
Summer and early autumn are the perfect time for picnics – just gather a blanket, a basket full of delicious goodies and you are ready to enjoy!
Today we have rounded up 30 delicious picnic recipes to suit every taste – salads, dips, sandwiches, cocktails, lemonades and, of course, some sweet treats. Just check out yourself! I’m sure you’ll find plenty of delicious picnic recipes to fill your basket with.
