Zesty Tequila Lime Dressing for Exotic Fruit Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Received lots of positive comments when I served this for my quilt group. I thought it was a little too sweet for the pineapple and will cut back on the sugar next time. Next time I will also try the mint extract and I wonder how it would be if made with Stevia. There was a lot of syrup left over in the bowl; so, I am going to save it and use it again in the next few days.

    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.,Received lots of positive comments when I served this for my quilt group.
