Antipasto Al Fresco



Beautiful Willow Picnic Basket



Sometimes the best picnics are the simplest. Here is an idea for a great getaway you can throw together in no time from store bought items plus a couple of gourmet recipes. The antipasto tray can be any assortment of deli meats, cheeses, fruits and olives that you wish. Then add some bread, chips, and crackers plus Curried Chicken Salad and my mother's Avocado dip and you have a great and easy meal.
