Summer Picnic Food and Games
It’s the perfect time of year to invite friends and family to have a picnic outdoors. Assign dishes to everyone coming and have a delicious meal together out of the apartment. Today, the Crofton Village Blog also has some food ideas and outdoor game recommendations to play after your meal to help you keep things interesting here in Crofton, MD.
Recipe Ideas
Wraps can be a good alternative to lunch meat sandwiches. Be creative with all the recipes and options out there. This recipe is a great twist on a classic caesar salad. To make it, you’ll need three cups of shredded romaine lettuce, two cups of cooked and chopped chicken, six slices of cooked and chopped bacon, grated Parmesan cheese, croutons, dressing, and five to six flour tortillas. Mix all ingredients together except the dressing (and the tortillas!). After it’s all mixed, add the dressing. Spoon onto the tortillas and you’re ready to go!
This salad is easy and so delicious. To make it, you’ll need an apple, an orange, two kiwis, a banana, a cup of blueberries, and a cup of red grapes. For the dressing, you’ll need canned coconut milk, Greek yogurt, basil leaves, a lime, and honey. Make the lime coconut basil dressing and mix in with the chopped fruit. This salad is a great alternative to traditional fruit salad or fruit bowl.
