My must have item is homemade cold-pasta. What’s a picnic without some chopped up veggies and garden rotini pasta drizzled in italian dressing? Then, I would probably say my next essential is tostilocos with a whole lot of chamoy and limon. Lastly, an ice-cold pitcher of horchata. That would pretty much complete my perfect picnic.

My three picnic basket essentials include an assortment of fruits, a charcuterie board, and a book to keep me entertained.

My first picnic essential would be a sandwich because it’s a great lunch meal. My second would be fruits because they are refreshing. My last essential would be lemonade because it’s a perfect drink for spring.

So far this year I have done 3 picnics with friends. Each time we go we try to switch up the main course, but I would say 3 staples that I always make sure to have at picnics would be Martinelli’s sparkling cider, a charcuterie board (either meat, cheese, and crackers, or a fruit board), and chocolate strawberries!

I have an annual picnic date with friends, and this year we will be eating sandwiches, chocolate-covered strawberries, and boba! Last year we did this picnic to celebrate the end of school, and it was super fun and exciting. We had a charcuterie board with fruits and cheese and ate cake and boba at the last picnic. My friends and I will eat sandwiches to ensure a good meal and chocolate-covered strawberries are a sweet dessert! Boba is always yummy, so we grab a gallon of tea and share it with all of us. Last year we had Thai Tea with boba, but I believe a fruit iced tea would be the best this year with the warm, hot weather!

3 things that would be within my picnic basket would be a strawberry cake as the dessert! Korean corn dogs as the main item! Than last but not least, a basket full of fruits! That’s what I’d like to have within my picnic basket!
