For many of us, packing a picnic basket and heading off to the beach, soccer field, or park is a wonderful rite of summer. But traditional picnic foods like fried chicken and potato salad can wreak havoc on your diet. The good news is that with a little tweaking, you can enjoy a picnic without compromising your waistline. Here are some healthy picnic food ideas sure to delight everyone.

American Dietetic Association spokesperson Kerry Neville suggests finding healthier alternatives or limiting portions of these familiar picnic foods and beverages:

Mayonnaise-based salads, like potato salad and coleslaw.
Alcoholic beverages.
Fried chicken.
Hamburgers and hot dogs.
Brownies, cookies, and other desserts.

Instead, aim for a picnic basket that contains a bounty of colorful fruits and vegetables; lean meat, fish or chicken; and a whole-grain salad or two.

Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 1: Use Nature’s Bounty

Summer picnics occur at the height of the fresh fruit and vegetable season. And the more colorful produce you add to your menu, the healthier the meal.

"Take advantage of the bounty of the season and fill your picnic basket with luscious summer produce like peaches, berries, cherries, watermelon, tomatoes, corn, zucchini, peas, and fresh herbs," says Ellie Krieger, host of the Food Network’s Healthy Appetite show.

That doesn't have to mean elaborate preparations. It's easy to create healthy and delicious picnic foods with fruits and vegetables.

"Try using broccoli slaw instead of coleslaw, toss in some shredded carrots, and toss with a light, low-fat poppy seed or yogurt dressing for a great salad that will be still be crunchy and delicious and lower in calories than the typical coleslaw," suggests Neville.

Go for a healthier and more flavorful twist on pasta or potato salads by substituting colorful veggies for some or all of the starchy ingredients. Chopped veggie salads are another great picnic food idea. Making them ahead of time not only makes picnic day less stressful, it makes for better-tasting salads.

"Vegetable salads (excluding lettuces) prepared ahead of time will taste even better the next day after their flavors have had time together," says Connie Guttersen, RD, author of the Sonoma Diet.

If you're grilling at your picnic destination, take along vegetables such as Portobello mushrooms, red peppers, zucchini, and onions. Grilled or roasted vegetables tossed with olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper (or your favorite vinaigrette) can also be done the night before if there are no grills available -- or if you just want to get ahead of the game.

Grilled vegetables are great as a side dish, as a topping on grilled chicken sandwiches, or alone on a bun as a sort of "veggie burger."

Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 2: Light and Crunchy Appetizers

Pack your cooler with a variety of crisp, raw veggies like cucumbers, carrots, celery, asparagus tips, cherry tomatoes, and radishes are ideal for picnics. Take along a nutritious dip such as hummus, salsa, fat-free bean dip, or low-fat yogurt with herbs and spices. Stuffed celery with peanut butter, and baked tortilla chips and salsa, are favorites for both kids and adults.

"For the folks who want to dip with a cracker or crisp, try one of the many whole-grain crisps options available such as oat crisps, whole-grain rice chips instead of high-fat chips," recommends Guttersen.

Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 3: A Different Main Dish

Instead of picking up a basket of fried chicken or grilling burgers, why not pick up a roast chicken or try making wrap sandwiches?

"Wraps are easy to eat and transport, and can be supernutritious if you make them with lean meat, stuff them with veggies and a salsa or light dressing," says Neville.

Making lean beef burgers or ground turkey breast burgers will shave fat and calories over regular ground beef. Skip the cheese and save even more.

Skinless chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, and veggie burgers are other delicious picnic food ideas. Try them brushed with barbeque sauce and topped with lettuce, tomato, and other veggies. Hot dog lovers, choose the lower-fat brands or try a chicken or turkey dog.

Brighten up a chicken or turkey entrée salad with green grapes, mangoes, peaches, or toasted slivered almonds.

Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 4: Sensational Salads

Resist the temptation to load your picnic basket with high-calorie salads held together with mayonnaise. Mayonnaise-based salads are not only high in fat, but are also a medium for growth of bacteria that can cause food-borne illness.

Instead, use dressings made with less oil and more vinegar or other added liquids such as fruit juices. Using salad dressings that contain acidic ingredients such as vinegar or citrus instead of mayonnaise not only cuts fat but helps keep foods safer at room temperature.

In starchy salads, substitute whole-grain pasta for white pasta and sweet potatoes for white potatoes. Or break free of tradition and try a brown rice salad or whole-wheat couscous salad. Combine cherry tomatoes with green beans and a little whole-grain pasta and add a little pesto for a tasty, nutritious salad that travels well.

Neville makes her favorite Mexican bean salad using a can of drained and rinsed black beans; a can of drained corn; a can of chopped Mexican-style tomatoes in lime juice; a chopped red pepper; a pinch of cumin; and a bit of cayenne.

Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 5: Add Some Whole-Grain Goodness

Breads, rolls, and starchy salads can pile on lots of calories. So limit the starches in your picnic basket and wherever you can, make them whole grain for added nutritional value.

For a welcome change to the usual picnic fare, use whole-grain buns, pita bread, or wraps for your grilled meat, chicken, fish, or veggies.

Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 6: Better Beverages

"It is so easy to get dehydrated, without even knowing it, when you are outdoors playing in the sun," says Neville.

Children are especially prone to losing fluids, and often don’t want to interrupt their fun to drink.

Neville suggests beating the heat with plenty of ice water, sparkling water, unsweetened iced tea, and an assortment of low-calorie beverages. You can freeze water bottles the night before and use as cold packs to keep food and drinks cold.

If alcohol is on the menu, select light beer and wine spritzers. Both are more refreshing in the midday heat and lower in calories.

Other options to satisfy thirst include:

Frozen fruit pops
Lemonade with a splash of cranberry juice
Fruit juices mixed half and half with water

Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 7: Sweet Indulgences

Dessert is a must at a picnic, and who can resist summer delicacies like berries, cherries, and peaches? A colorful fruit platter or fruit salad is sure to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth. Most kids (adults, too) also love diving into big wedges of juicy watermelon.

If you must have cookies, brownies, or cupcakes, keep the portions small. If cake is on the menu, make it an angel food cake topped with fresh berries and a dollop of light whipped topping.

Two More Tips

Finally, to make the most of your summer picnic:

Be Safe. Make sure your picnic food arrives safely by tightly packing cold food into one cooler and drinks in a separate cooler. Keep both coolers in the shade.

Be Active. Enjoy the fresh air. Being outdoors is a great chance to include some exercise and burn some calories. Take a hike, toss a Frisbee or football, play baseball, canoe, or plan a fun game for the whole gang.

Healthy Picnic Food: Recipes

For your next picnic, Guttersen suggests the following recipes from her Sonoma Diet Cookbook:

Confetti Summer Salad

WebMD Weight Loss Clinic members: Journal one serving as 1/4 cup starchy foods and legumes without fat + 1/2 cup vegetables without added fat.

Prep: 30 minutes; chill: 4 to 24 hours.

4 medium ears fresh corn or 2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed

4 baby zucchini, thinly sliced, or 1⁄2 of a small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (1⁄2 cup)

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped

2 green onions, sliced

1 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1⁄2 cup bottled clear Italian salad dressing (such as Newman’s Own brand)

1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Fresh thyme (optional)

If using fresh corn, in a covered large saucepan cook ears of corn in a small amount of boiling water for 4 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut corn from cobs (you should have about 2 cups corn kernels).

In a large bowl, combine fresh cooked corn or thawed corn, zucchini, tomatoes, green onions, bell peppers, salad dressing, and, if desired, cayenne pepper. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme.

Yield: 8 side-dish servings

Per serving: 99 calories, 5 g total fat (1 g saturated fat), 0 mg cholesterol, 253 mg sodium, 14 g carbohydrates, 2 g fiber, 2 g protein

WebMD Weight Loss Clinic members: Journal one serving as 1 cup vegetables without fat + 1 ounce low-fat cheese

The variety of textures, colors, and flavors in this recipe makes it the perfect prelude to virtually any entrée. These no-cook kabobs can also be served as satisfying snacks.

Prep: 30 minutes; marinate: 1 to 24 hours.

11⁄2 to 2 cups assorted fresh vegetables (such as baby carrots, halved radishes, bell pepper squares, whole miniature bell peppers, or halved pattypan squash)

2 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, or smoked Gouda cheese, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces

2 ounces cooked smoked turkey sausage, cut into 3⁄4-inch-thick slices and quartered

2 tablespoons refrigerated basil pesto

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

12 whole fresh basil leaves

Place vegetables, cheese, and sausage in a self-sealing plastic bag set in a deep bowl.

For marinade, in a small bowl stir together pesto and vinegar; pour over vegetable mixture. Seal bag; turn to coat vegetable mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.

On 12 4-inch-long wooden skewers, alternately thread vegetables, cheese, sausage, and basil leaves.

Yield: 12 skewers (6 servings)

Per serving: 84 calories, 6 g total fat (2 g sat. fat), 13 mg cholesterol, 188 mg sodium, 3 g carbohydrates, 1 g fiber, 5 g protein.

White Bean and Artichoke Dip

WebMD Weight Loss Clinic members: Journal one serving as 1 serving bread

Artichokes are naturally fat free and are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and folate. Enjoy their delicate flavor and nutritional benefits in this smooth, creamy dip.

Prep: 30 minutes; bake: 10 minutes per batch (pita chips); chill: 2 to 24 hours.

12 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1 19-ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained

1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced garlic; cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until garlic is tender and golden brown (reduce heat to medium-low if garlic is browning too quickly). Stir in onion and thyme. Cook and stir about 5 minutes more or until onion is tender.

In a food processor combine cooked onion mixture, cannellini beans, artichoke hearts, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Cover and process until smooth. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.

Serve with Whole-Wheat Pita Chips or vegetable dippers.

Whole-Wheat Pita Chips: Preheat oven to 350°F. Split 4 large whole-wheat pita bread rounds in half horizontally. Cut each half into six wedges. Arrange pita wedges in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until wedges are browned and crisp. (Bake the wedges in batches.) Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Makes 48 chips.

Yield: 16 servings.

Per serving (2 tablespoons dip and 3 pita wedges): 91 cal., 2 g total fat (0 g sat. fat), 0 mg chol., 220 mg sodium, 16 g carbo., 4 g fiber, 4 g pro.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Freshly ground black pepper

Top 10 Picnic Food Ideas and Recipes

When the weather is beautiful there is nothing better than a picnic, and Food & Wine has terrific picnic food ideas that are both tasty and easy to transport. F&W’s best picnic food ideas include delicious picnic recipes for appetizers, like potato salad with bacon and healthy, Middle Eastern-inspired tomato, cucumber and sweet onion salad. For dessert, milk-chocolate cookies stuffed with malted cream make the perfect picnic recipe. Plus, fantastic picnic recipes for a crowd like olive tapenade with tangy dried figs and grilled-vegetable gazpacho.

Curried Chicken Salad With Garam Masala Biscuits

Garam masala is an Indian spice mix that can include up to 12 different ingredients, such as cinnamon, clove, cardamom, cumin and fennel. Carrie Dove uses the blend to give flaky biscuits a complex flavor and mild heat, then fills the biscuits with a curried chicken salad that contains grapes, pistachios and cilantro.

Black Olive Tapenade with Figs and Mint

What makes this tapenade special is the clever mix of oil- and brine-cured olives and the surprise of sweet, fresh and tangy notes from the dried figs, mint and capers.

Green Bean-and-Tomato Salad with Tarragon Dressing

This supersimple bean-and-tomato salad, tossed with a tarragon-flavored dressing, is perfect for summertime picnics, like the kind Paul Virant's mother would prepare when he was a child. "She would make tomato salad, potato salad and fried chicken the night before, so we'd have everything ready the next day," he says.

Grilled-Vegetable Gazpacho

Classic Andalucian gazpacho combines raw vegetables like tomatoes and onions with red wine vinegar for a little kick. Kerry Simon transforms the recipe by using grilled vegetables brightened with a blend of vinegar, orange juice and lemon juice.

Potato Salad with Bacon and Barbecue Sauce

The mayonnaise dressing for this potato salad gets pungency from mustard oil (store-bought spicy mustard works fine, too) and a hit of smoky-sweet flavor from bacon and bottled barbecue sauce.

Emeril's Muffuletta

The muffuletta is the quintessential New Orleans sandwich of cured meats, cheese and tangy olive salad piled onto a sturdy Italian loaf. Emeril Lagasse's delicious muffuletta is packed with briny olives and pickled vegetables.

Tomato, Cucumber and Sweet Onion Salad with Cumin Salt

Only slightly more involved than Andreas Viestad's supersimple tomato salad, this version is inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine. A sprinkling of toasted cumin seeds ground with salt gives the summery salad a warm depth of flavor. Any leftover cumin salt is terrific on grilled chicken or roasted potatoes.

Sophie Dahl's Iced Tea

Sophie Dahl loves to make iced tea—especially using Earl Grey flavored with lavender.

Quinoa Salad with Sugar Snap Peas

Milk-Chocolate Cookies with Malted Cream

Mathew Rice grew up loving an Oreo-like sandwich cookie called Murray Chocolate Cremes. In this homage, he creates a malty filling for milk-chocolate wafers by mixing butter and sugar with Ovaltine.

The season of alfresco dining is upon us, which means it’s time to dust off your red-and-white-checkered blanket and head to the park for a summer feast. But before you reach for lackluster salads and slaws prepared at the supermarket, check out these five tips for packing your picnic basket with healthy homemade treats that showcase seasonal ingredients. If you’re worried about food spoiling in the sun, rest assured: You can still bypass prepackaged, preservative-laced options in favor of homemade recipes.

Processed snacks fall flat on the tastebuds and heavy around the waistband, so skip the potato chips and pop a few of these plump Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes (pictured above) in your mouth instead. Before preparing this recipe, head to your local farmers market to scout out heirloom cherry tomatoes in varying shades of red, gold, pink and even green. The sweet skins make the perfect casing for cubes of salty feta.

When it comes to choosing a picnic salad, steer clear of mayo-laden recipes. This will trim the calorie count and you’ll be able to taste something other than creamy mayo. Ellie Krieger’s Pesto Potato Salad combines tender red potato wedges with crisp bell pepper pieces, all tossed together in an invigorating homemade pesto sauce.

3. Make-ahead mains are the key to hassle-free picnicking.

When it comes to packing a picnic, not all meats are created equal. Burgers and franks are better hot off the grill, so choose a protein source that you can cook the night before, then cool, slice and pack for your picnic the next day. This Grilled Pork Tenderloin a la Rodriguez will be just as appetizing at the park as in your own backyard. Try the succulent pork simply sliced and served with a side of Orange-Habanero Mojo — or bring rolls to build hearty sandwiches.

We can all appreciate the invigorating crunch from a fresh head of romaine, but unfortunately, your standard lettuce-based salad will likely wilt or turn soggy in the sun (especially if it’s dressed before serving). But that doesn’t mean you should ditch vegetables altogether. You can still showcase summer produce with lettuce-free side dishes, like Ina’s Confetti Corn, a seasonal medley of corn, orange bell pepper and fresh herbs.

When packing your picnic basket, save cake — and the utensils necessary to consume it — for at-home entertaining. These No-Bake Healthy Strawberry-Almond Cereal Bars pay homage to strawberry shortcake, a classic summer dessert (albeit not the most portable). This picnic-friendly version calls for freeze-dried strawberries, which deliver intense berry flavor and satisfying crunch. The best part is, you won’t even have to turn on your oven.

Fried Chicken Bites

These spicy fried chicken nuggets are great dipped in honey mustard or blue cheese dressing.

Skewer the melon after marinating for easy-to-eat melon pops.

Cucumber-and-Sugar Snap Salad

Almost any raw veggie works in this cucumber salad. Try using bell peppers, jicama, or fresh corn kernels.

I am beginning to realize that Google is probably a much better, smoother and more pleasant experience for me. Also, since you are partners with Verizon, it makes me want to switch that too.

I am requesting that you do a manual review of the organic results on "chinook boot dryers"

I am requesting that you do a manual review of the organic results on "chinook boot dryers", and many other "boot dryer" and "boot dryers" keywords. First there is not much variety being displayed, since the search results are almost ALL going to websites controlled by the same guy who has built the following websites, and interlinked them together and crowded out all of the other possible search results:

+ his pages on Amazon (note the seller is SEA Products, which is the same guy who runs all of the above websites. Scott E Allen.)

You can verify this by looking at the phone numbers and addresses on the above websites, plus all of the sites look like each other.

This seems very spammy and NOT a good representation of Yahoo's stellar results. Also, it sends the signal to others that all you need to do is build out 5-6 ****** websites, link them together and take over the top search results. which isn't fair to other operators or customers trying to find the best products.

Another interesting thing about the results for "chinook boot dryers" is the fact that this guy has the domain http://chinookbootdryer.com, and that he is NOT the manufacturer of Chinook Boot Dryers but his organic listing is being treated with domain authority as though he was the manufacturer. We spoke to the actual manufacturer and found out that this guy is only one of many of their dealers and does not work for the company or have any affiliation with them in any way. You can verify this by calling the manufacturer yourself. Their number is 203-366-3840.

We have researched many other "boot dryer" keyword results and have noted that his websites are ALL dominant and taking up almost all of the page 1 organic search results.

We hope you do the right thing and don't reward this behaviour, since the rest of us are trying to stick to Yahoo's guidelines and play by the rules. with one website.

Thanks for your consideration and support!

I am going to close my Yahoo account which I have had for 17 years if you do not stop with the pop-up ads.

your product support is non responsive and useless
