Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh broccoli florets. If you only have frozen broccoli, thaw it completely and drain it well before using.
  • To make the margarita dressing, use a good quality tequila. A reposado or añejo tequila will give the dressing a more complex flavor.
  • If you don't have any lime juice, you can use lemon juice instead. However, the lime juice gives the dressing a more authentic flavor.
  • Toasted almonds add a nice crunch to the salad. If you don't have any toasted almonds, you can use chopped walnuts or pecans instead.
  • Serve the salad immediately after it is made. The dressing will wilt the broccoli if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Broccoli salad with margarita dressing is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. The broccoli is crisp and tender, the dressing is tangy and sweet, and the almonds add a nice crunch. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
