Best Picnic Recipes: Blood Orange Sangria
At your childhood picnics you had fruit juice, but now you're all grown up. Pack a thermos of this tangy white wine sangria to finish off your picnic spread right.

Ingredients:
6 blood oranges
2 bottles of pinot grigio
1 cup club soda
1/2 cup brandy
12 ounces strawberries, sliced
1 pint raspberries
1 apple, chopped
1/2 cup sugar

Directions:
Juice four blood oranges (you can do this by hand), discarding any seeds. Chop remaining blood oranges into pieces. In a large pitcher, combine wine, brandy, blood orange juice, club soda, apples, strawberries, raspberries and blood oranges. Stir well to combine. Add ice cubes and some of the leftover fruit.

One of the best things about summer: eating outdoors (preferably in the park, on a blanket, with a chilled bottle of wine). Summer is picnic season, and while classic picnic fare is fine for an impromptu gathering, we prefer our picnic dishes to be next-level, Instagram-worthy affairs. Anyone can slap together a basic cheese plate, but these easy, healthy recipes are the kind that taste as lovely as they look against a checkered blanket. Want to put your fellow picnickers to shame without blowing your summer diet? From inventive new recipes to nutritious takes on traditional picnic cuisine, these are all the picnic food ideas you need to have the best summer spread on social media.
