I want to take pasta or potato salad to a picnic. Is this safe?

Any type of pasta salad or potato salad should be kept well chilled until you are ready to serve it, whether it's made with oil and vinegar dressings or the wrongly-maligned mayonnaise. The true culprits in cases of food poisoning are the potatoes and pasta: they're the perfect warm, moist, neutral environments in which bacteria thrive. Since it's not a picnic without pasta or potato salad, pack them in a cooler and keep your salads safe to eat.

So, now you know what to do!!!

thank you for this useful post. it only means it isn't safe to bring salad and pasta to picnics!!
if my family goes on picnics, we bring lots and lots of unpeeled fruit, snacks in foil, and fresh fish, seafood and meat to grill on the spot. whew!! that's a tough job for me!! i don't really enjoy picnics !!
