ITALIAN PICNIC AT HOME
Have some fun with this meal! We love using our table top grill to make it extra special. If you don’t have one yet, you need it! Click here to grab one for yourself.
This is how I was taught to entertain in Italy. We find a scenic place to sit and eat our food. This makes it the perfect thing to make for a quick and fun dinner or for a lunch with friends. And with two different choices for the picnic, it is easy to mix things up.

DIRECTIONS:
Picnic 1:
Choose one of these kinds of cheeses. The ones I have listed here are easy to find. You don’t need to go to a fancy grocery store to find the other items. They are available all over also. Put the cheese and meat on the bread or eat them seperately along with the olives. It is a one-of-a-kind taste.
Picnic 2:
Place grill on the table and all other ingredients arranged on a platter. Toast bread on the table top grill. Rub garlic clove over the toasted bread. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Place a piece of cheese on the bread and drizzle with honey. This is delicious and great fun.
