People can't stop eating it!</p> <p>Also, this might not be great for a crowd, but what an easy/obvious thing to do for watermelon salad! You can probably even assemble on site!</p> <p><a href="http://www.lottieanddoof.com/2011/08/watermelon-salad-thing/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lottieanddoof.com/2011/08/watermelon-salad-thing/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735958 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:58:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 1735958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm making an eclaire dessert (no baking!) and it's always a hit!<br /> <a href="http://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/2013/04/eclair-icebox-cake/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/2013/04/eclair-icebox-cake/</a> </p> <p>Also pasta salad, tortilla rollups/pinwheels, or fruit salsa with Stacy's cinnamon/sugar pita chips. All are things I'm taking this weekend :) Fruit and fruit dip is easy enough too, which is also being taken to a brunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735841 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:12:57 +0000 MsInformation 1735841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coopsmama Yes, it's a super delicious and somewhat unexpected combination. I tried these skewers at a friend's house years ago and have been bringing them to picnics ever since. I'm going on a picnic with this friend in a few weeks, though, and feel like I should find something else to bring. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735836 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:10:37 +0000 coopsmama 1735836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsInformation: oh my gosh that sounds amazing. I fell in love with melon and prosciutto combinations when I was in Italy - so delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735833 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:08:49 +0000 MsInformation 1735833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go-to picnic dish is skewers of melon, prosciutto and mozzarella balls, drizzled with pesto. I usually buy the canteloupe and honeydew pre-cut at the grocery store to save even more time. The prosciutto I cut into strips and then slide accordion-style onto the skewers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735441 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:32:00 +0000 dagret 1735441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: bacon-wrapped little smokies or hot dogs cut into thirds, covered with brown sugar and baked?</p> <p>crab ball - can of crab, mix with cream cheese, cover with cocktail sauce, serve with wheat thins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735397 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:13:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 1735397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruit salad</p> <p>Chips and guacamole</p> <p>Chips/pita and hummus, olives, etc.</p> <p>Cold sesame noodle salad</p> <p>Cold pesto pasta salad</p> <p>Veggie with interesting dips</p> <p>Cole slaw (traditional might need a fridge but a non mayo based one should be fine!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735396 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:12:21 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1735396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: my aunt makes a pasta salad with cheese cubes and ahhhh it's to die for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735379 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:06:22 +0000 Boheme 1735379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pasta salad!

It was a hit (especially with the kids). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735359 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:01:16 +0000 hilary 1735359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're allowed to make desserts brownies or no bake cookies. Depends on how you feel about turning the oven on. We have a potluck 4th picnic and I'm lame and am bringing a veggie tray and chips because we're currently renovating our kitchen so only things that can be bought and chopped over here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-picnic-dish#post-1735355 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:00:13 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1735355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yummmm!
