TEQUILA LIME SYRUP FOR FRUIT SALAD
This is lovely syrup used to brighten up the flavors of a simple fruit salad. The recipe comes to me from the Santa Fe Cooking School and works especially well as a light dessert after a Southwestern meal. The flavors are reminiscent of the popular mojito. I like it best with more tropical fruits like pineapple, mango and banana but find it works very well with summer fruits such as strawberries and grapes. One batch of syrup is plenty for 4-6 cups of fruit. You can prepare this days ahead of time and mix with the salad just before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right tequila: A good-quality reposado tequila or añejo tequila is best for this salad. Avoid using a blanco tequila, as it will be too harsh.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If you can, use organic produce whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
- Cook the shrimp just until they are opaque: Don't overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and rubbery.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
This tequila lime salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. The combination of tequila, lime, and cilantro gives the salad a unique and flavorful taste. The shrimp add a protein boost, and the avocado adds a creamy texture. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
