There’s no better way to celebrate the beauty of spring than with a delightful picnic in the great outdoors! Whether you're heading to the park, the beach, or your own backyard, there are plenty of delicious options to celebrate the flavors of spring. From tasty treats to refreshing salads and small bites, our fool-proof guide to packing the perfect spring picnic basket will ensure a lovely, scrumptious afternoon.

Classic Kale and Cabbage Slaw:

This recipe is a nutritious take on a true classic, close slaw. Kale is known as nature’s superfood, and is packed with vital nutrients for green-powered eating. This slaw is super easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. In fact, this slaw tastes better the second day, as the kale and cabbage become tender from the greek yogurt and mayo dressing. Shred some carrots and white onion, chop up some kale and cabbage, make the dressing, and you’re on your way to a delicious slaw!

Deviled Dijon Collard Eggs:

Deviled Eggs are a springtime favorite, and they are no exception to being a picnic favorite as well. You can easily make these ahead of time, and have a refreshing collard flavor. Just slice the eggs in half and remove yolks. Then, mash the yolks and fold in mustard, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne, and greens and mix. Scoop yolk mixture onto eggs and enjoy!

The FWB Wrap:

Wraps are great for picnicking, and make for an easy, tasty main course. Our FWB wrap has fresh turkey, provolone, light mayo, kale, and balsamic all tucked into a tomato basil wrap for prime, savory snacking. Toss the kale and dressing together and set aside. Spread mayonnaise onto tortilla. Place turkey and cheese on top of mayonnaise. Spoon kale mixture on top of cheese; roll up, and serve!

Kale Pasta Salad:

Pasta salad is a well-known picnic side dish. Pasta salad is great because you can put almost anything in it that you want, and pairs well with fresh veggies! This kale pasta salad has all the savory ingredients you love about traditional pasta salad with an added, green kick of chopped kale.
