When we asked readers to send their favorite dishes into The Recipe Box Project, we found ourselves with a vegetarian picnic basket. Add grilled chicken, hot dogs, or burgers, if you like, or skip the meat and prepare piquant red lentil burgers slipped into pita pockets. You\u2019ll want a traditional creamy potato salad on your plate, with plenty of paprika and parsley, or a pink-tinted Dutch version with beets and apples. Cabbage slaw with a sweet vinaigrette is seasoned with mustard and celery seed; it marinates overnight and still comes out crunchy. A lemony chickpea salad will add more protein to the table. Fill out the menu with a custardy caramelized onion pie.<\/div>\n<p>For dessert, a no-bake cheesecake with cream cheese lightened with whipped cream, is poured into a ladyfinger-lined pan, chilled, then garnished with fresh berries. We imagine this confection originally came from the back of a package in the 1960s because so many versions exist today. Reader Martha Hunyadi Testa of Brockton got it from her late mother, who made it every summer as her dad\u2019s birthday cake.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need slices of juicy watermelon and you have everything to celebrate the outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>RECIPES<\/p>\n<p>Click on the links for these delicious recipes<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/food-dining\/2012\/06\/26\/recipe-for-bake-cheesecake\/YoPyrjPnn5Aq7GnXsgmCSK\/story.html\">Recipe for no-bake cheesecake<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/food-dining\/2012\/06\/26\/recipe-for-cabbage-slaw\/GX93LAy4Pz6ityMgAZguAL\/story.html\">Recipe for cabbage slaw<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/food-dining\/2012\/06\/26\/recipe-for-red-potato-salad\/Aw3VHYrC2Vmu73ZBnzlmcL\/story.html\">Recipe for red potato salad<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/food-dining\/2012\/06\/26\/recipe-for-chickpea-salad-with-cucumbers-carrots-and-dill\/IwjwL9pUcZ4cQtY3BnZuUJ\/story.html\">Recipe for chickpea salad with cucumbers, carrots, and dill<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/food-dining\/2012\/06\/26\/recipe-for-dutch-potato-and-beet-salad\/MaxJfa6AzVAed1rebh2hrK\/story.html\">Recipe for Dutch potato and beet salad<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/food-dining\/2012\/06\/26\/recipe-for-onion-tart\/4sl0xBpasvHWCgUZC1ro9J\/story.html\">Recipe for onion tart<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/food-dining\/2012\/06\/26\/recipe-for-red-lentil-burgers-with-yogurt-mint-dressing\/6vQdl0Lp7oeyXUFavr2DrI\/story.html\">Recipe for red lentil burgers with yogurt-mint dressing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 By Debra Samuels\u00a0GLOBE CORRESPONDENT The Boston Globe JUNE 26, 2012 Summer draws New Englanders to decks, porches, picnic tables, and beach blankets with all kinds of light fare.
