The best picnic food ideas, then, are easy picnic food ideas. While we&#8217;ll always advocate for sausage rolls and fresh fruit from the supermarket (who hasn&#8217;t dashed to Tesco for easy finger food?), the perfect picnic includes homemade dishes too. These options are surprisingly easy &#8211; and they&#8217;ll elevate your picnic spread.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve whipped up some easy summer sides, sauces, slaws and cocktails, to make ahead and take to the park this weekend.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"coriander\">Coriander &amp; Mint Mojito<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14142 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito.png\" alt=\"coriander and mint mojito\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito.png 800w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gousto_MintCoriandar_Mojito-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a new mojito moment, give your minty drink a citrus hum with coriander.
