A nice picnic and a wonderful meal are the quintessential combo, and pretty much one can’t go without the other! But while this tradition has stayed on for centuries, our food preferences haven’t! So, let’s look at some fresh and delicious picnic food ideas that will add wholesomeness and perhaps a bit of novelty to your trip

1. Sandwiches, Charcuterie, And Dessert

This set is a wholesome picnic meal for four. It includes sandwiches with cold cuts of meat, melons, and olive crisps. This one’s actually a picnic offering from a business. It’s a good buy, but also great inspiration if you want to make your own picnic meal. 

Making food and taking it along with you for a picnic is the classic choice and is an excellent approach to go about things. But, in the modern world where a lot of things are commercially available, getting your hands on a nice picnic meal sounds like a good deal.

2. Grilled Caprese Steak Sandwich

The classic caprese sandwich has been a fixture on picnic tables for a long time now. Well, give tradition a twist with this wonderful grilled caprese steak sandwich. It’s got all the goodness of nutrition and the fun of grilling, which should add to the picnic spirit.

Ingredients for this grilled Caprese sandwich include a top sirloin or petite sirloin, a loaf of French bread/baguette, basil pesto, mozzarella cheese, and a couple of ripe tomatoes. 

You’ll have to cook the basil pesto separately, which involves using anchovy paste, basil leaves, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and kosher salt.

3. PB&J With Fruit

The classics never go out of style. The picnic meal certainly can benefit with the presence of some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches accompanied by some fresh fruit. Some creative serving goes a long way in making it all appetizing and enjoyable.

I like the serving style that this image has. The sandwiches are made tiny and skewered along with fresh fruit. It’s a simple way to enjoy the sandwiches and fresh fruit together. Besides, the serving style looks absolutely gorgeous.
