WFD with a theme

[wegrowsheep]

I made it themed just for @scoop.

What do you cook for on-the-go/picnic food? I'm eating chicken cherry lettuce wraps, minus the lettuce today. I'm spending all day, every day, in the blueberry field right now while our UPick is open and I need some ideas for food to make ahead of time and eat cold.

I love this tomato/asparagus orzo salad. It's good room temp or cold and super easy to make.

I use Parmesan instead of feta and add a lot of minced garlic to the dressing.

My go-to is a super easy pasta salad. I use elbows. For each box of pasta, you add 1 scoop of mayo and half a bottle of Italian dressing. We usually toss in some chopped veggies and grilled chicken. Delicious at any temp!

I take this guacamole salad (Ina Garten) to any pot-luck type picnic thing. It's always a huge hit, I get asked for the recipe every time. It's also yummy added as a topping to hot dogs or hamburgers.

My mom makes a killer pasta salad. She uses rotini noodles, diced bell pepper and purple onion, diced cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, diced ham and diced pepperoni. She mixes it all with a creamy Italian salad dressing and shredded parm cheese. Then lets it sit in the fridge overnight so the flavors blend. It's so good and easy!

Mmmm can't wait to try these pasta salads! I could live off of pasta salad with zero complaints
