Pack this picnic from the pantry and open the wet ingredients when you sit down. Crackers, whole fruit, a spread and a few individual pouches or pull-tab tins can feed a group without carrying ice.

Items 34 The creator’s order
1 Peanut butter Bring a small sealed jar or squeeze packs, along with bread and a whole banana. Spread it when you sit down for a more filling picnic lunch. Check for peanut allergies before setting out a shared jar. 0 2 Cracker (food) Choose thick crackers and carry them in a hard container if your basket is crowded. Use them as a base for a freshly opened pouch of tuna or a squeeze of nut butter. 0 3 Apple Wash and dry whole apples before you pack them. Cut them at the picnic if you want wedges to dip in nut butter, or leave them whole so everyone can eat without utensils. 0 4 Trail mix Pack nuts, raisins and pretzels in a resealable bag, or use individual portions. Leave chocolate out on a hot day if you want the mix to stay tidy, and label any version with nuts. 0 5 Fruit preserves Take small shelf-stable jam packets and spread them on rolls or crackers at the table. Raspberry or apricot gives you something tart with peanut butter. Individual packets save you from carrying an opened jar home. 0 6 Tortilla Keep a sealed pack of shelf-stable flour tortillas flat in the basket. At the picnic, roll one with a packet of nut butter and banana, or use it as a soft wrap for a freshly opened tin of beans. 0 7 Bagel Choose plain or seeded bagels. Slice them at home with clean utensils and pack the halves without any filling. At the picnic, set out shelf-stable jam or nut-butter packets and let everyone make a sandwich. 0 8 Flatbread Look for plain packaged flatbreads that can sit on the shelf before opening. Tear them into wedges at the picnic and pair them with olives or a freshly opened can of chickpeas. 0 9 Shelf-stable tuna pouch Use a shelf-stable tuna pouch or pull-tab tin from the pantry aisle. Open just enough for the group and mix it with single-serve mustard at the picnic, then spoon it into crackers or tortillas. 0 10 Shelf-stable canned chicken Bring a small can of fully cooked chicken from the pantry aisle, labeled for room-temperature storage unopened. Open it at the picnic and mix a portion with a single-serve mustard packet. Spoon it into a plain roll or onto crackers and finish it then. 0
