| Crunchy, salty, and a little playful: these are the rules of picnic food.
  These Summery Cookbooks Will Help You Pack a Perfect Picnic
 When it comes to picnic food, texture and simplicity reign supreme. Sturdier ingredients will travel better; tender leaves have no place here. Opt for recipes that taste good at room temperature. And focus on finger foods (even if you've got nice bamboo travel silverware, eating with your hands enhances the picnic experience—as long as you pack some wipes).
Unsurprisingly, the cuisines of warm-weather locales make for ideal picnic food: salty Greek fare; tangy, spicy Indonesian dishes; or garlic-and-herb-specked Middle Eastern meals all just get better as the ingredients sit and flavors meld. Below, find four summery cookbooks full of big-flavor dishes that will stand up to a long time spent in the picnic basket or a few hours out on the lawn. Just add watermelon.
