Preparation
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small bowl, whisk the first nine ingredients. In a large bowl, combine salad ingredients. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat; serve immediately. Test Kitchen Tips: • Try adding a touch of honey to the dressing if your melon isn’t super sweet. It will wake it right up! • English cucumbers are firmer and less watery than regular cucumbers. To aid your preparation of this salad, halve a regular cucumber lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds before cubing.
