Hi Ladies!
I was just invited to a picnic tomorrow for about 25 people. Need a really fast and easy recipe to bring since I don't have much shopping, baking or cooking time!
Thanks for your help!

How about a pasta salad?
Curly pasta
cucumber
tomato
onion
radishes
olives optional
Italian salad dressing
You can add any thing that you like to it or leave out what you don't!

I make a great fruit salad that you can whip up in the time it takes to slice/chop fruit and measure a 1/3 cup honey, 1/3 cup fresh mint and 1/3 fresh squeezed lime juice. Refrigerate...and eat!
I use grapes (red and green seedless), strawberries (especially right now, in season), blueberries, kiwi and honeydew, but you can do anything! After slicing/cutting your fruit, put all into a large bowl that allows room to stir. Whisk honey, mint and lime to make emulsion and pour over fruit and stir lightly with spatula and you're done!

I forgot to add (but figured you'd realize) that you chop the mint fine :)

I often chop up any veges I have around, add onions and garlic and any spices you like, then top with spaghetti sauce. Bake about 30-40 mins in 375* oven. Whala! Vege bake!
