PICNIC PERFECT MENU! I made these & Bobby Flays Mesa Grill Potato Salad & his Coleslaw with Cumin-Lime Vinaigrette--all were amazing & easy! My BF inhaled it :. I made the tapenade, garlic oil, slaw vinegarette & potato salad a day ahead. Before heading out for the picnic, cooked the steak on a grill pan, then grilled the bread while the steak rested. Tossed a bag of broccoli slaw + red onion, tomato & cilantro with the vinegarette & dinner was done--YUM!!!!! Luv you Bobby Flay!!
