Expert Tips

Fresh lemon juice brings the best flavor to this tangy dressing. You’ll need 1 or 2 lemons—depending on their size—to get the 2 tablespoons needed here.

You’ll save plenty of time buy purchasing precut melon from the produce section.

Its very refreshing and filling. Low in calories and carbs.As a covered dish, it is easy to prepare and can be prepared the night before. It enhanced all the other covered dishes that was prepared by other art students. NOTE: We are all over sixty five years of age. Most are either Dibetics or have hypertension or both. It is hard to come each week with refreshing and different recipes.

Sounds very refreshing and a different twist to a salad. I think I''ll add walnuts and dried cranberries to it for added flavor.
