Jackie’s Tip

Think outside of the basket. Traditional picnic fare is often laden in fat. So this year, start a new tradition. Give your hum-drum summertime salads and lackluster sandwiches a nutritious, even glamorous, makeover. How? Find clever ways to add seasonal veggies and fruits, such as California peaches, plums or nectarines, into every part of your meal. You’ll be boosting vitamin C and other antioxidants, while adding flavor and flair.

Jackie’s Cooking Tip: Incorporate fruits into store-bought picnic mainstays, like salsa: Stir fresh diced peaches into salsa and savor it with tortilla chips and chicken. Or for a cool, homemade sandwich twist, try my Spa Cobb Salad Wraps with California Nectarines and Balsamic Nectarine Dressing.
