Salmon Skewer with Mojito Salad

I love these dressing. It's so fresh and fruity. Ideal for the summer.

The original recipe asked for tequila. I actually planed to buy some, but then I stumbled over a ready made mojito cocktail. It was cheaper, so I bought that instead. But it was better this way. Cause I also needed limes. But I couldn't find them anywhere. It seems they are to expensive at the moment, so the dealer don't buy them. But there is already lime juice in the mojito, lucky me! The mint adds a nice note too.

The fish goes rather well with the salad. But really the skewers are more work than they are worth.

The photos did't work out at all this time. I try to take them while the sun is still out. But this time it was already dark and I had to use the flash light. It doesn't look as appetizing as it actually was. I'm disappointed with myself.
