BLT sandwiches are a favorite. I think they'd keep well in a cooler with ice packs.

Yes, BLTs sound the best.  You can wait and put them together when you get to the picnic spot so they won't get soggy.  Let everyone make their own.

How about Muffaletta sliders?  There are all kinds of recipes out there for this, but one is below.  It's non-mayo, but you would still need to keep them chilled.

Hawaiian Sweet Rolls are split in half filled with Giardiniera relish, Spanish olives, salami,  black forest ham, provolone and olive oil, stacked in layers and picked with sweet chip pickle and cherry tomato. 

MUFFALETTA STACKED SLIDER RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mixed pickled vegetables-tested Mezzetta Giardiniera

¼ cup pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives

¼ cup black olives

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 package Hawaiian rolls

10 slices hard salami, thin sliced

10 slices provolone cheese, thin sliced

½ pound black forest ham, thin sliced

Garnish:  12 black olives, 12 bread and butter sweet pickle slices

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In food processor fitted with steel blade, process vegetables, onion, olives and olive oil into small pieces.
2. Slice Hawaiian bread dinner rolls in half horizontally and do not separate dinner rolls, keep as one unit.
3. Spread half of vegetable mixture on top of roll base.
4. Next, layer the salami, cheese, and ham slices, top with remaining relish.

@LdyBugz Thank you for sharing!  I'm not going on a picnic but these sound good!  It's going to be in the 90's this week, so these would be perfect.  I'm not turning my oven on
