the key components of a perfect picnic…a salad that doesn’t get soggy and a bevvy 👏 my faves are this no-lettuce italian chopped salad and the non-alcoholic beers from @AthleticBrewing 🍻 because summer activities should still be FUN even if you don’t drink! give them a shot and find a store or restaurant near you that sells Athletic’s NA brews #ad RECIPE: for the salad: -12 oz cooked & cooled chicken, chopped into chunks (i recommend my italian chicken from a previous post! you could also use rotisserie chicken) -1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed -4 oz genoa salami, chopped into chunks -4 oz provolone, chopped into chunks -1 cup quartered cherry or grape tomatoes -1 cup diced cucumber -1/4 cup diced red onion -1/2 cup diced fire roasted red peppers -1/3 packed cup chopped basil for the dressing: -2 tbsp olive oil -1 tbsp red or white wine vinegar -big squeeze of lemon juice -1/2 tsp garlic powder -1/2 tsp dried parsley -1/2 tsp dried basil -1/2 tsp dried oregano -red pepper flakes to taste -salt + pepper to taste in a small bowl or jar, mix together all the dressing ingredients. then add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl and pour the dressing on top. toss until combined. enjoy! #AthleticBrewing #FitForAllTimes #picnic #picnicfood #picnicdate #italiansalad #easyandhealthy #saladrecipes #italiandressing #nonalcoholic #sobercurious
