In preparation for last night's Screen on the Green* I prepared a little picnic--- Chaos in the City style. Packed my cute little back pack you found three tupperware filled with summer salads, rice crackers and a wonderful chive and garlic cheese, two spoons and a water bottle filled with Famage Wine.
My three yummy salads including the quinoa dish from last week, an Asian Salad and Chickpea Chutney Salad. Fresh, light and lots of flavors. My favorite picnic food.
