Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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.
  • tip 2
    You’ll save plenty of time buy purchasing precut melon from the produce section.
