The warmer weather is finally upon us and what better way to celebrate than taking your next meal outside for a family picnic!

These deliciously simple dishes are easy to make and will taste even better in the great outdoors. So pack up your table cloth, some beverages and your favourite Summer Fresh products and get outside to enjoy this beautiful weather.
