Gina Daly, author of the Daily Dish, joined Brendan O'Connor on RTÉ Radio 1 to share her 'no fuss' picnic recipes.

Summer Loaf Sandwich

This no-fuss, no-mess sandwich is ideal for your picnic basket. Using a full round loaf and removing the top and the inside you can fill with your favourite fillings, pop the lid on and slice it up when you are ready to eat. This is a real show-stopper!

Whipped Feta Dip

This beautiful whipped feta cheese is super as a dip with fresh crunchy vegetables or can be used to elevate your sandwiches for summer days out.

Mint & Lime Fizz

This is a super refreshing drink and the kids will love it too. I pop my bottle of sparkling water in the freezer until it is super cold and starting to ice so it will still be chilled if you are packing up a picnic and heading out for the day.
