If you’re wondering what to do this weekend, we suggest a picnic! Make it simple, maybe with a couple of types of cheese, crackers, and a heartily delicious salad. Let’s find out more appetizers that are sure to delight anyone involved.
Caprese Sandwich
There’s no better use for fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. A Caprese sandwich is made with fully ripe tomatoes, a good quality salami, and fresh mozzarella. To dress it, use some fresh basil and drizzle extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt.
You can also use a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a small handful of arugula. What matters is the bread and tomatoes—the better the bread and tomatoes, the better the sandwich.
A Creamy and Nutty Strawberry Smoothie
For this cold and satisfying smoothie, you’ll need four ingredients: frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, almond milk, and almond butter.
It’ll taste like a strawberry milkshake, and it’s easy to whip up for breakfast if you wake up with a craving for a sweet treat. You can spice things up by changing the recipe to add flax or oats if you’re after a nutrition boost or a drizzle of maple syrup for a dessert-like taste.
Broccoli Pesto Pasta with Green Olives
The broccoli pesto and green olives make this pasta recipe taste so fresh that you’ll want to keep it in your repertoire for your picnics. You’ll only need broccoli, toasted pine nuts, green olives, and Parmesan. The green olives will do the job for you to bring this dish to life.
