EXPERT TIPS

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.
