Fancy a little spring picnic? This is the one you need. It will travel really well once cold, it is really easy to whip up (especially if you cheat like I did and use the frozen pastry sheets) and serves at least 6, depending on how hungry your bunch is! Get organised with some crusty bread, a nice red, and a big ole salad, get the rug, the paper plates and the family and you are off! Enjoy.
