How can I pair a cool refreshing lunch with a sweet presentation? Betty Crocker’s Answer: Chicken Salad in Melon Rings

This recipe is a simple rendition of Chicken Salad, a riff on the Waldorf Salad variety with almonds, grapes, and mayonnaise. But what makes it interesting is the presentation — served in a hollowed out honeydew melon ring, which lends a refreshing sweet touch that complements the salad well.

We also explore the history of 1930’s salads and their unexpected presentations — rings, cubes, boats and spheres, you name it, a salad can be shaped like it!

Happy Homemaking!
