10Black Bean Burger
Parker feierbach Listen, no one has ever bitten into a bean burger and said "Wait, is this meat?" Burgers made from black beans are never going to taste exactly like a hamburger, so why not get a little creative with the seasonings? We chose to lean in to the black bean vibe and add some cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and paprika for smokiness.

13BBQ Grilled Chicken
Ethan Calabrese Let’s be honest: grilled chicken may not seem like the most exciting meat out there, but it’s affordable, crowd-pleasing, and a snap to cook. You won’t want to sleep on the sauce, which is a classic BBQ jazzed up with honey and lime.

14Classic Potato Salad
PHOTO: RACHEL VANNI; FOOD STYLING: SIMON ANDREWS A classic potato salad is a must-have at every picnic and BBQ, and ours is the best—it's creamy and tangy, with a little bit of crunch from the onion and pickles. What it's not: too sweet, which is one of our potato salad pet peeves. If you’re looking for a classic, no-fuss potato salad that won’t disappoint, this is it.

Andrew bui A classic bánh mì is one of the world's great sandwiches. An ideal way to get that classic bánh mì taste? On skewers! Par-cooked carrots and slightly sweet daikon grill up nicely with thick pieces of pork chop, and they're perfectly matched with a straightforward combo of fish sauce, soy sauce, and honey.

18Sheet-Pan Italian Subs
Andrew bui Hoping to bring sandwiches to feed your picnic crowd, but don't want to spend all morning assembling them? This sheet-pan hack is for you! Overlapping the bread slices means you can fit more onto the sheet pan, and don’t worry—the melty Provolone and pressing these down (sort of like a massive DIY panini press) makes sure they still hold together.

It’s also the perfect make-ahead app: The longer the tomatoes sit in the balsamic-garlic-olive oil mixture, the better the flavors meld and develop.
