"One of the most genius ways to use tequila in your cooking is to add it to your salad dressing. A tequila vinaigrette combines your favorite tequila (whether a luxury tequila brand or a more affordable one) with tangy citrus juice and a sweetener. The tequila adds a slight spiciness to the dressing as well as a warm, smoky aroma."
"To make a vinaigrette salad dressing with tequila, combine oil (either olive, avocado, or canola can work) with the tequila of your choice. You don't need a lot - just a tablespoon or so of the spirit for every quarter cup of oil. Add a few spoons of a sweetener like honey or agave syrup to the mix, as well as lemon or lime juice, some apple cider or red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste."
Homemade salad dressings can elevate simple salads, and tequila can be used to create a boozy vinaigrette. The vinaigrette blends a small amount of tequila with oil (olive, avocado, or canola), citrus juice, a sweetener such as honey or agave, and vinegar, with salt and pepper to taste. Recommended ratio is about one tablespoon of tequila per quarter cup of oil. Additional citrus, hot sauce, brown sugar, or mustards can customize flavor. Tequila contributes a slight spiciness and warm, smoky aroma. Tequila flavor varies by production and aging, with multiple tequila types available.
