I recently headed to New Orleans for a Latin Twist book signing at Tales of the Cocktail. For those interested it is currently on sale over at Amazon, smile. After our first book signing we headed out for a quick lunch before a scheduled seminar. We stopped at the Tableau where I had a wonderfully refreshing salad of watermelon, olive and feta over a bed of greens.

I wanted to recreate this salad for my family, but decided to give it a little tang by using tequila for the dressing. Plus Friday is National Tequila day so what better time to showcase this amazing salad. I went with cantaloupe and honeydew melons in place of the watermelon, but I do have a similar recipe using watermelon is you are interested. Instead of olives I used red onions, plus cucumbers and loads and loads of queso fresco. Dressed lightly this melon salad with tequila lime dressing hits the spot on a sweltering summer day. Serve the dressing in shot glasses for a festive touch. Enjoy!
