What makes a relaxing summer weekend even better? Dining alfresco! With a season full of vacation planning and go-go-going, it’s nice to slow down, roll out a comfy blanket, and enjoy delicious food with friends, your significant other, your family, or even your pets!

Remember, a sunny day in the park pairs best with a balanced meal of protein, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and whole grains.

Worried about what to pack? Don’t be! We have the goods to pack a balanced meal with many grab-and-go options in the Deli and Produce departments.

Recipes.

Chopped Chicken, Cucumber, and Kale Salad A refreshing medley of oven-roasted chicken, avocado, cucumber, green cabbage, kale, and lemon vinaigrette.

Watermelon Salad in a Jar Juicy watermelon pieces with chopped peppers and shallots, cashews, basil, cilantro, and ginger dressing.

If you have time to make a meal, grab an oven-roasted chicken to whip up a few recipes from our chefs. Oven-roasted chicken is a lean protein source that can be used to prepare soup, salad, taco, and pasta recipes in a fraction of the time usually required. It also provides a variety of vitamins and minerals, moderate fat (after skin removal), and amino acids.¹

Our Chopped Chicken, Cucumber, and Kale Salad is loaded with protein-rich chicken and avocado. This meal offers high amounts of vitamins A and C. Vitamin A can help support your immunity and vision, while vitamin C can help your body absorb iron and support your immunity.^2,³

Looking for something sweet and refreshing? Try our Watermelon Salad in a Jar recipe. This salad is a great choice to add into a meal prep routine or your on-the-go schedule. Just grab a jar, prep the salad, and you’re on your way!

Whether you’re making your meal at home or grabbing a convenient solution, please know Publix is here every step of the way to make your day in the sun a true summer delight!
