And so you ask, "what the heck is a tequilaberry?" Well, Tequilaberry was a local restaurant here in the Twin Cities in the Anoka area. They closed a while back, but at one time were very highly popular. This was the house salad there. It's super yummy and feeds a crowd - great for holidays or potlucks because it really does feed a crowd. Try it. You'll like it. It's delicious.
Tequilaberry Salad
For the Salad:
1 Head Lettuce, torn into bit sized pieces
1 Head Cauliflower, chopped into bit sized pieces
1 Cup Bacon Bits (or more if you really like bacon)
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
For the Dressing:
1 and 1/2 Cups Mayonnaise
1/3 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Milk
Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate not quite as large, bowl - mix the dressing ingredients until smooth. Pour over salad and toss the salad. Serve immediately.
If you plan to bring this to a potluck, here are a few tips:
- After making the dressing, store it in a separate container from the salad. When ready to serve, just shake it up a bit before dressing the salad.
- Make sure that both the bowl and salad dressing container have tight fitting lids for travel purposes.
- Always tear your lettuce - never use a knife! When using a knife, it bruises the lettuce and causes it to brown. Tearing it does not have that effect.
- The salad and the dressing can be prepared up to 1 day in advance. Just make sure to store them separately and only combine to serve.
