Sweet

In addition to the savory, it is also nice to have something sweet in the nice weather. The making of a Fruit Salad with summer fruits such as strawberries, grapes and blueberries is a good choice. If you don't like fruit, a vegetable skewer is a good option. If all this is too healthy, you can choose to have a cupcake or cake to bring along.

Tip 2– Drink

It has already been explained in the introduction that picnicking is most suitable in the summer. For this reason it is important that you hydrate well.
