Looking for cold picnic food recipes?
Let’s go outside
Certain food – cold picnic food recipes – and drinks just seem to taste better when you consume them outside. So when we are blessed with a lovely sunny day, fill a basket with goodies and head for the nearest grassy spot. |
For a classic British picnic salad, pack a jar of salad cream, a container of crisp lettuce leaves, radishes, spring onions and cherry tomatoes and another of little, baby, beetroots. Cucumber is best washed and transported whole to be sliced when you get there (add a knife to your list).
Then you just need to add another container of sliced cooked chicken, ham or hard-boiled eggs and maybe a French baguette.
That's a very simple, rather retro picnic, but there are lots more cold picnic food recipes in this site! Here are a few of them and I start with another retro classic:

A buffet-style meal is easily the simplest and most stress-free for a picnic. So putting together a menu based around cold meats and summer salads gives you time to relax and spend quality time with your friends or family.
Little or no cooking cuts back on the time spent in the kitchen. I love salads because them team up so well with either cold meat or chicken and they take advantage of whatever fresh, seasonal ingredients are available.
