CAESAR SALAD WITH TEQUILA & LIME-GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHIPOTL
(Title is so long it doesn't fit into the alloted space) Mexican Caesar Salad with Tequila & Lime-Grilled Shrimp with Chipotle Dressing.

An error has been found in the ingredients (actually two errors , soy and chicken broth). They have been corrected. Sorry for any inconvenience.

CHICKEN, MANGO & JICAMA SALAD W TEQUILA-LIME VINAIGRETTE
That name is a mouthful, I know! But a tasty mouthful. If you've never tried jicama, here is your chance! This a bit time consuming but you can easily make the dressing ahead of time. You can also do the tortilla strips ahead and store in a airtight container, or omit them altogether and use store-bought tortilla chips.

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.
