Dialysis picnic! Please help!

[gothiclovemonkey]

My clinic is having a picnic this sunday, and I cant figure out what to make!!!!! It, of course, must be renal friendly. I figure most people will probably think of the normal picnic fair, like deviled eggs and such. So I want to make sure I bring something that wouldnt be thought of by others.... is renal friendly...and yummy for a picnic.
(even though it cracks me up we are having fried chicken....... salty much?)

any ideas???
Im looking through old posts now, hoping to find something, but i figure id post and see what you all come up with!!!
THANK YOU

This recipee is awesome. My dietician gave it to me and others on dialysis when I went to a cooking demo at my hospital for renal patients, in June. It's a cool and delicious salad and renal friendly!  Let me know if you'd like a desert too, I have a yummy, easy idea for a desert too that's also renal friendly!

2. Stir together rice vinegar, water and sugar and pour over cucumber and onion
