Recipes for Picinics
Get out the checkered tablecloth, some wine, and invite a special friend or two to a picnic. The following recipe presents well and is very tasty!
- PICNIC PASTA
- 1/2 lb. pasta shells, cooked & drained
- 1 cup turkey ham (or reg. ham), cut in strips
- One 11-oz. can mandarin oranges
- 3 green onions
- chopped 1/2 green pepper
- sliced thinly 1/2 red pepper
- sliced thinly 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup toasted walnut pieces
- Dressing: 3 Tbsp B&B Liqueur (how appropriate!)
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp fresh pesto
- 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp tarragon
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground white pepper
Mix dressing in a bowl with wire whip. Pour over pasta and marinate overnight. Mix in other ingredients just before serving. Mound on chilled plate with greens at home, or pack in a picnic container and put salad greens in separate container or plastic bag and assemble on site.
Colorful and very tasty. Crusty French bread and cold chilled Chardonnay - great accompaniments.

Limit each family member to 20 pounds in a carry-on–size bag. A 9" x 22" x 14" bag fits under most airplane seats and will free you from burdensome baggage that will only drag you down.
