California Grilled Veggie Sandwich


* 2 tablespoons mayonnaise


* 1-1/2 cloves garlic, minced


* 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice


* 1 tablespoon olive oil


* 1/2 cup sliced red bell peppers


* 1/2 small zucchini, sliced


* 1/2 red onion, sliced


* 1/2 small yellow squash, sliced


* 1 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally


* 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese


1. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.


2. Preheat the grill for high heat.


3. Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside.


4. Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don't burn. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

Some of the best picnics my husband I had were simple ones. Of course, we always hiked somewhere private. I would pack a daypak with things that would not get spoiled. Like a french baguette, salami or summer sausage, good cheese , some fruit in baggies a knife a cork screw and a bottle of wine.


Best picnic ever


Throw in a large beach towel to um sit on
I agree with sandwiches. Make or order his favorite. And take a thermos of his favorite soup if it will be chilly. Serve it in mugs. A couple sides could be some munchie items like olives or cheese or both, depending on what your sandwiches are. Brownies and/or cookies is a good idea for desert.





Just some extra advice:
