4 Recipes for the Perfect Summer Picnic

Enough with the wilted lettuce wraps and sad ham sandwiches. We asked dinner party planner extraordinaire Tamara Reynolds for quick, simple, and delicious picnic recipes. Click the picture next to each description to see how it’s done.

watermelon feta salad!Watermelon Feta Salad
What would an alfresco fete be without sweet, juicy melon? Adding tangy feta proves our theory that cheese makes even the best things better.

salty potatoes!Salty Potatoes
It may not be the prettiest finger food, but it’s a universal picnic-pleaser. We like to think of it as nonfried French fries that won’t get soggy in the sun.

cucumber salad!Mom’s Cucumber Salad
Nothing cools the senses like crisp cukes. We made this recipe with low-fat sour cream, and it still tasted like something unhealthily delicious.
boozy figs and peaches!Boozy Figs and Peaches
Who says you can’t drink in the park? Immerse figs and peaches in rum, and you’ll be, in Reynolds’s words, “all the wiser.” We like her style.

For more easy-as-pie ideas, buy Reynolds’s book online at amazon.com or check out her blog. Special thanks to Cooking by the Book for lending us the kitchen space you see in today’s videos.

party!

Turn your picnic into a party with the right tools, tunes, and tableware.
