You can have something as simple as a really good bread and some cheese. Oh, don%26#039;t forget the obvious, watermelon. Speaking of that, fruit salad and maybe some prosciutto would be nice. Despite the fact that you said no sandwiches I had to mention my beach favorite: Spicy Shrimp Salad Serves 2
Ingredients
1 pound uncooked large, ez-peel shrimp, peeled, de-veined
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
Radicchio or butter lettuce leaves
Preparation
Cook shrimp in medium pot of boiling salted water until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes. Drain shrimp and cool. Combine mayonnaise and Old Bay seasoning in large bowl. Add bell peppers, green onions, celery and shrimp. Season salad with salt and pepper and toss to blend. Arrange 1 lettuce leaf on each plate. Spoon salad into leaves and serve, or serve on crusty French rolls|||Anything sticky! The sand adds great texture and you can get all of your weekly fiber in one meal!
: P|||We brought a whole roast chicken, that was bought at the store, salads (bean, chickpea, pumpkin), grapes, fresh figs. You could take crackers and dip.
marinated chicken breast wrapped in lettuce leaves with carrot would be nice too.
go to the store and check out everything that you can eat with your hands and have lots of nibbles|||You are ruling everything out now without sandwiches and salads! I like to bring imitation crabmeat salad in a ziplock container and put it on crackers. I also bring pickles and chips.|||i think u should go simple and choose hot dogs!! there good for the beach.|||Are you going to a beach where there are firepits? Hot dogs or hamburgers usually work well. Sandwiches are good--with enough notice, you can even take the work out of it by ordering from someplace like Subway. Just remember to keep the cold foods COLD!
