What to take on a picnic instead of sandwiches

In the warmer months, you can have a picnic every day. The main question is what to take with you to eat, especially in the heat, so that it is safe and healthy.

The FoodOboz editorial team has prepared 7 best products to take with you on an outing.

1. Fresh fruits

This is a very good alternative to sandwiches, especially on a hot day. It is best to wash and dry all the fruit well at home in advance, but do not cut it so that it does not release juice.

You can take completely different fruits to suit your taste.

2. Vegetables with hummus and salads

You can safely take any vegetables to a picnic, both fresh and pre-baked, and they will be very tasty and, most importantly, healthy in combination with hummus. You can also make vegetable salads to your liking.

3. Mediterranean food and cheeses

Olives, black olives, dried tomatoes, roasted bell peppers – all of these will add a special flavor and brightness to your picnic.

Cheeses are also a great snack, you can choose any to your liking.

5. Vegetable and fruit chips

Instead of eating unhealthy store-bought chips, you can make healthy and safe homemade chips from vegetables and fruits.

6. Homemade pies, cheesecakes, ice cream

Who doesn't love homemade pies, and even more so in the open air? You can make both savory pies and sweet pies with fruit and berries.

You can also take homemade ice cream with you, but you'll have to eat it right away so it doesn't melt.

Homemade cheesecakes with apples and carrots are a great, light picnic food, especially with iced coffee or tea.

7. Fish, seafood, meat

Of course, you can take cooked fish and meat, shrimp, and even oysters on a picnic, but remember that these products can easily be poisoned.

The main thing is not to forget about your drinking regimen, especially on a hot day, and the quality of the food you will consume.
