Fill your picnic basket with food that will satisfy the entire family, then head to the beach, the lake or your favorite park and celebrate the beginning of summer. Little lobster sliders, our stylish variation on the classic lobster roll, will be a hit with the grown-ups, while young picnickers will adore egg salad "sammies" (they can even help with the preparation). We transform watermelon into a tangy-sweet salad that includes purple basil, feta cheese and black olives. Round out the meal with refreshing cranberry limeade and carrot cupcakes topped with rich mascarpone icing.
