Summer is the perfect season for enjoying the vibrant flavors of Mexican food, and this menu takes advantage of seasonal produce for an easy yet festive meal. Get the party started off by serving guests margaritas—a classic accompaniment to Mexican fare—or mix things up by serving Palomas made from freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Two salads, one bursting with corn kernels cut from the cob and the other featuring ripe summer watermelon, add both bright color and fresh flavor to the table. The main course is fish fillets wrapped in banana leaves, which look impressive when presented at the table. A cake with sweet, creamy dulce de leche between the layers ends the evening on a sweet note.
