From all-veggie pasta salad to mustard potato salad and from tropical shrimp to herby chicken salad, here are 24 side dishes for a spring picnic!

Spring is officially here! Yay! We’ve had a few nights of snow, but for the most part, the weather here in southern Wyoming has been just lovely. Sunny days and 65 degrees is something I could get used to. As we are officially in the season of spring, I am just yearning for those weekend barbecues and picnics. It’s by far my favorite time of year for that reason alone. I’ve decided to officially kick things off with a roundup of some of the best side dishes for a picnic. All of these recipes are found on Cooking and Beer, so yay for that!
There are some pretty great recipes in this roundup. Save them for your next picnic!
