BLT – the combination of bacon, lettuce, and tomato is the heart of many sandwiches. This one uses turkey bacon, and gives the famous sandwich an added serving of avocado and spinach. The side dishes are an interesting idea, offering apples, cheese, nuts, and more. That sounds and looks like a fun meal.

We would be discounting actual picnic experiences if we didn’t think of snacks or packaged snacks. Chips, nachos, even Cheetos or similar snacks are a good option. It’s a picnic! And a big part of that is being comfortable and enjoying the foods you love.

No one said a picnic meal couldn’t look classy and gorgeous! This idea brings some classy inspiration and style to the picnic table, while keeping the classic picnic feel. Salads, fruits, and big fat BLTs make this a wholesome meal. The key, however, is presentation and styling the table.

Your choice of charcuterie with some fruits, nuts, and cheese. Now that’s a classic picnic table idea that’s never going out of style. Besides, it’s inherently versatile and the possibilities are infinite. A small dose of creativity would make this go a long way.
