This fruit salad won’t make you drunk, but it’s so good you might find yourself eating too much of it! Various fruits with a mild dressing that is margarita-inspired. Will remain cold for a few days. If you don’t want to stick to the original recipe, you can substitute mango or jicama.

Reviews
I happen to love margaritas and watermelon, so I decided to give this a try. It was delicious. Since I like my margarita with salt, I sprinkled a little salty Cotija cheese to taste just before serving.
We really enjoyed this. I added half a sliced banana, some mango and a handful of almond slices. I made and dressed the salad mid morning to use mid afternoon, giving all the fruits to meld with the dressing. When I opened the container the smell of tequila was pretty strong, but it really isn’t strong as you eat it. I used Sauza (r) Blue tequila and it was just perfect. This will be featured at many summer functions. Thanks, becchoate!
