NOTES : I got this recipe off Prodigy a long time ago. I have
made it many times and everyone likes it. It was posted
by Mickey Malanowski. She suggested that you use a
sombrero and place it on a platter. Then punch down the
top and put the bowl of dip into the indentation. Line
the brim with plastic wrap and arrange fruit in the brim,
garnished with sprigs of mint. Suggestions for fruit, in
connection with a Mexican theme, could be watermelon,
cantaloupe, grapes, papayas, mangoes, strawberries,
pineapple, kiwis, bananas, etc.

This is really a refreshing dip. I can eat it with a
spoon. I usually double the recipe, then you can use the
whole can of margarita mix. It keeps pretty well, though
it has never lasted long around me! --ch
