As summer begins to draw to a close, fun family picnics are a great way to enjoy the last few weeks of warm weather. You need quick and easy foods that taste great without making a mess, and therefore here’s a delicious picnic spread that will keep your family happy this summer.
Baguette
First off, the base of your picnic will be a freshly baked loaf of French Stick. Preferably bought from a bakery rather than the supermarket, it should have a crunchy crust with a soft, silky inside.
Olives and Artichokes
Mixed olives, grilled artichokes in olive oil, and sun-dried tomatoes are great side dishes that you can also use to fill out your baguette.
Smoked Salmon and Garlic Cheese
Buy a few sheets of responsibly sourced smoke salmon and a French garlic soft cheese like Boursin. The smoky salmon complementing the garlic tang of the cheese is beautiful. You can use these as a filling for your baguette or eat them with the olives, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Fresh Greens Salad
The finishing touch to the picnic is a fresh greens salad. Mix fresh lettuce, rocket, red onion, and sliced apple in a plastic box with olive oil.
