This serving idea looks wonderful. Also, it’s a great way for everyone to gather around, have a conversation, and enjoy some food. The combination of fruits, cheese, and perhaps some dip looks very enticing and quite the handful!

Take another look at that platter. It’s so full and fulfilling, looking every bit worth the effort and full of culinary delights. The flowers are a nice touch, and while not edible, they do add a nice picnic feel to the platter and by extension, the meal.

9. Side Salads, Desserts, And Beverages

Many famous picnic spots also offer the foods their patrons like to enjoy. They’re also careful to have the picnic theme and spirit flowing with the offerings. This combination of fruits, sides, salads, dessert, and beverages looks like just the right choice for picnic meals.

This image also highlights two picnic favorites that never fail to make an impression. The first one, of course, is the beverage of your choice. Whether it’s fruit juice, soda, or beer, you’d probably want to carry along something for a picnic. 

The other one is fritters. While they’re good any time of the day or season, I think they feel especially delightful in cool weather. An excellent food for the fall or spring.
