Spend time together on a group picnic.
Nothing epitomizes summertime like a slice of fresh watermelon. Feed the crowd with simple and fun recipes prepared ahead of time, so you can enjoy this gathering of friends.
Easy to Make
Prepare salad dishes beforehand.
"Summer favorites like pasta salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad are favorites for warm-weather eating," suggests Disney Family. Make simple foods with basic ingredients, and play with presentation to make dishes special rather than adding unusual ingredients. Carve a watermelon into a handled basket for serving fruit or cut peanut butter and jelly sandwiches into fun shapes.
Easy to Transport
Cook meats beforehand and transport them on disposable trays for easy cleanup.
Keep prepared food cool in the refrigerator until leaving the house. Pack food safely in containers with secure lids for transport to the picnic site. Remember plastic wrap, foil and trash bags for transporting leftovers and cleaning up after the crowd leaves.
Please the Crowd
Ice cold beverages.
Pack plenty of water and other beverages in a cooler. A hot summer picnic is no place to run out of things to drink.
