I love Friday evenings during the summer. Every Friday, we pack a picnic dinner and head down the road to Music in the Park. We spread out the picnic blanket and set up the lawn chairs, break out the picnic food, and settle in for the concert. If the weather and the dogs behave, we spend the evening listening to great local music.
Over the last six years, Laura and I have written quite a bit about our favorite picnic and potluck foods and I want to do a little recap for those of you who have recently joined us.
For starters, here are three posts on picnicking that we’ve already written:
Here are a few more dishes that can create a great picnic:
- Sloppy Joes – picnic version
- Summer Sourdough Sandwiches
- Pigs in Blankets
- Chop Block
- Spicy Cole Slaw
- Hummus and Flatbread
- Pressed Sandwiches
- Slow-cooked BBQ Pork or Beef
- Quick Summer Salad
- Black Bean Salad
- Loaded Potato Salad
- Chicken and Wild Rice Salad on Croissants
- Barb’s Best Brownies

Homemade Loaded Baked Potato Salad is a favorite picnic food.
I’ll probably come back and add some more favorites to this list.

The chicken (or other) and wild rice on croissants is my favorite food in the world. Not just for picnics, but for everything. EVERYONE should have a chance to try that!
