Today we are talking sides and dessert all perfect for a picnic. Now, I have a delicious recipe for you that you can take along with you. It’s a Tuscan hummus recipe that I adapted from one I found in my Wasatch Woman section of my newspaper. It has all those fantastic Tuscan flavors in it. Hummus really is easy to make and this Tuscan hummus was my first attempt at it. You basically toss it in you food processor and blend until nice and smooth. Serve it up with homemade or store bought pita chips. It’s even tasty with veggies.
Here are some other great picnic sides (I tried to not include any mayo or cream items to be food safe on your picnic):
- Quick Fruit Salad
- Summer Bean Salad
- Orzo Salad
- Cucumber Salad
- Peachy Fruit Salad
- Frog Eye Salad
- Fiesta Pasta Salad (just omit the chicken for a side dish)
- Marinated Zucchini
- Black Bean and Pineapple Salsa

And don’t forget dessert (I tried to not do anything that could get melted):
- Sunny Peanut Butter Chews
- Speedy Brownies
- White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Bars
- Oats and Everything Bars
- Zesty Lemon Cookies
- Easy Sugar Cookies (no frosting needed)
