Food Fashionista: Countdown to a Healthy Cinco de Mayo

Cinco De Mayo or the 5th of May is a day that I love to celebrate! Mexican and Latin food combinations are my FAVORITE in the whole culinary world. Cilantro, lime, sour cream, avocados, rice, beans yummmmmmm. Traditional cooking usually includes a lot of grease, salt, and other things that we know are not great for us but you know you can count on me to make this holiday guilt free and satisfying with easy and simple recipes.
Food Fashionista's Margarita
Juice of 1/2 lime (or 2 packets of True Lime)
1 shot of silver Tequila (I like Milagro)
1 packet of sweetener (Splenda, Equal, Sweet&Low, Stevia)
Ice
Seltzer Water

Rim 1/2 of an 8 oz glass with salt. Squeeze lime and add sweetener and tequila. Add Ice and top off with Seltzer. Stir and serve.
**Salting only half of the glass gives you that satisfying flavor but cuts back on the sodium and helps avoid possible dehydration from too much salt.
