A picnic is so much fun! I love meeting friends outdoors, in the park, on the beach to enjoy the wonderful weather this time of year. This summer, more than ever, the weather is conducive to active and healthy recreation, so you have a great opportunity to sit on the green lawn with friends and feel the beauty of dining in the fresh air.
First, let's decide what we will go to the picnic with. To do this, we need something to bring food in. Special picnic baskets are on sale, but I opted for a traditional wicker basket. Find one that has enough room for food and anything else you might need - plates, glasses, cutlery, a knife, and a corkscrew. For a beautiful, classic setting, use a blanket to place snacks on and sit on your own. Sitting on the ground, even in summer, can be hazardous to your health.
Here are two of my best outdoor sandwich recipes.
Fried Smoked Salmon Sandwich
Ingredients:
- whole wheat bread, - processed cheese, - chopped smoked salmon, - chopped tomatoes, - Red onion;
- a piece of butter.
Cooking method
Spread melted cheese on the bread and top with a layer of salmon, then chopped onion and sprinkle with thinly sliced tomatoes on top. Toast the sandwich until the cheese is melted. To keep warm, wrap cooked sandwiches in wax paper and then in foil.
Tortilla salad
This is not really a sandwich, but nevertheless it does an excellent job with its main task - to satisfy hunger, which is especially progressing in nature.
Ingredients:
- tortilla, - blue cheese, - mayonnaise, - Turkey, - tomatoes, - bacon, - arugula.
Cooking method
Fry the bacon until crispy, crush the blue cheese over a tortilla and top with mayonnaise. Then add the turkey, tomato, bacon and arugula. It remains to roll everything up and you're done!
Dessert and drinks
It doesn't take a lot of effort to make a picnic dessert. Your favorite cookie will do for this. If you don't have time to bake it, buy it at the store. You will definitely need a bottle of good wine or soda. Now you have everything you need to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family.
Have a nice picnic!
