Picnic

I take picnic packing very seriously, and I've crafted recipes to match my enthusiasm. Whether you're on a road trip or seeking a scenic picnic spot, here's a  few of my favorite recipes for fellow picnic enthusiasts.

In a recent video, we journeyed to the Flathead, a perfect spot for a quick and healthy lunch on the go. On this adventure, I featured my herby salad, chicken salad, and the ultimate chocolate chip cookies (with recipes coming this Friday).

For road trips, I prefer using mason jars. They make it simple for each person to enjoy their own jar of salad and chicken salad, ideal for eating while traveling.

Salad

-Gem lettuce

-Radish, chopped

-Herbs: tarragon, dill, chives (whatever you have)

-Pistachios

-Green olives

-Raw goat cheese

-Salt & pepper to taste.

-for the dressing I drizzled a little olive oil and lemon juice. Then once ready to eat, add the chicken salad to the herby salad.

Chicken Salad

Remove the chicken from the bone. Chop into small pieces. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the vinaigrette, then add the mayonnaise. Toss in the chicken with the celery, herbs and mix together.
