Tequila & Jalapeno Citrus Salad Dressing
Jump to Recipe
Once everybody had refilled their drinks at my Foodbuzz 24×24 party, I brought out the salad. One of my friends exclaimed, “There is alcohol in the SALAD!?” The answer to that is yes of course! I made a tequila citrus dressing with orange and lime juice. It is important not to put too much tequila in the dressing, since it isn’t cooked, but it mellows out the strong citrus flavors in this tangy dressing.

Tequila Citrus Salad Dressing
The tequila and honey mellow out the strong citrus flavors of the orange and lime in this tangy, slightly spicy dressing.
