Made from steeped lemongrass, it's a perfect picnic thirst quencher on a hot summer day. No picnic is ever complete without the taste of chicken salad. This Curried Chicken Salad is a nice departure from the traditional recipe, so spread it on your favorite kind of bread and make yourself a great sandwich. Crab is one of the most luscious of all the crustaceans, and the combination of crab and avocado is a culinary classic. Add a pinch of red-pepper flakes to spice up the vinaigrette.
Scones are heavenly, buttery quick breads that are usually served for breakfast or with tea.
However, scones are so good they can be served any time of the day. Wait until you're ready to serve them before you dress them with the cr me fraiche and strawberry preserves. For your picnic, serve them plain with a glass of the lemongrass iced tea.
