Dips and Spreads, either homemade or purchased...See Picnic Spreads and Cold salad recipes Cold meats, chicken or seafood, either home cooked or purchased make Great sandwich fillings... Fresh bread (if sliced you can have this pre-buttered and wrapped in foil), fresh bread rolls are great for that BBQ'd sausage (mmmm, I can smell them from here, my personal favourite)
Salad mixes, homemade or purchased....my homemade potato salad mix is always a hit, pasta makes a great change and a simple tossed salad can take on a "Professional" look with a few simple additions eg nuts, seeds, cheeses, sun dried tomatoes etc Fresh fruit either cut up or offered whole Assorted cheeses and crackers

Another one of my helpful Picnic tips is to...be prepared...
A great Picnic Idea is to keep most of these things put aside, maybe some of them in the family car, ready for that picnic getaway. A picnic basket filled with utensils etc....see # picnic basket ideas or a carry all environmental bag/s from the supermarket can do the job Picnic rugs (I always suggest at least 2 as they are so handy if weather turns nasty)
A couple of thermos flasks, depending on how many people you are catering for you may need more. I find running out of hot water for MY COFFEE sooooo stressful! Pop top drink bottles, so handy for homemade drinks and water (this little tip can save you so much money!) A Small First Aid kit....see #Picnic Essentials Games to play
Trash bags, recycled supermarket bags are great for the rubbish and great for the environment Clear plastic drop sheet....Why? See Picnic Tips Esky or 2 or 3.....
