Limes???

[Lunar*Fey]

We have 2 limes, and I've never really had a lime I don't think. I used to eat lemons like oranges when I was little so I could probably do the same with a lime...but does anyone have any other suggestions? what is your favorite thing to do with limes?

[rawpriestess]

OH I just bought 5 pounds of limes, for limeaid, yum or lime/celery/cilantro juice yummy, or salsa, actually I use lime juice in anything calling for lemon juice. or even orange juice as I LOVE the flavor of limes, always have, even as a kid. LOL

I'd make limeaid, that's what I'm doing with my 5 pounds, I just juice them, and place the juice in the fridge, or you can make lime juice ice cubes, then when you want a lime aid, just toss in the Vita Mix with some ice, and water and some agave' and you have lime aid.

I use about 3 large ice cubes, or maybe 1/4 cup lime juice
1 cup water, 1
1 cup ice
1 T agave' nectar, more or less to taste.

blend and there you have it, a lime slushy.

you can add more or less water, ice, agave', or lime to your liking.

I like mine zinging!!!!

you can also put it in your salad :)

great ideas! thanks :)

Rawpriestess...I was thinking of making something like a Limeade...but I don't have a juicer or a vitamix...just a regular blender. What if I just blended all the indredients?? I'll probably try it...yummm

tinystrawberry,
I didn't even think of lime water! lol yum. Putting it in salad is a great idea too!!

[rawpriestess]

Yep, you can just blend it, peel it first, take out any seeds, and blend it up with some water and agave' nectar or sweetener of choice.


it is awesome, I like it with some fiber, but if you don't just straing like you do nut milk and take out the fiberous pieces. yummy

I LOVE limeaid, one of my favorite juices.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

squeeze a lime on some really ripe watermelon for flavor explosion - albeit not a perfect combination - it's something i enjoy on occasion! :)

another thing - for when those cravings hit and something more dense is required: vitamix a head of celery, 2 limes, 6 romas, 1 avocado until warm and pour over 1 head chopped celery + 6 romas chopped for delish soup.

I like to cut them in half, squeeze a little agave nectar on top and take a bite! It's a real kick in the face lol

Limes are easy to squeeze by hand - just cit in half then squeeze away!

I like squeezing one over a salad! Delicious! That's often my only dressing.

Cheers,
Sheryl

Put the flesh of the lime in the blender with one avacoda and you get a really nice dessert. My friend would not believe me that it was raw.

You don't need a juice for limes. Just cut in half and squeeze in your hand.

I like lime juice in water. I don't add sweetener.

Or I put it in pico de gallo. Use some chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, hot peppers (if you like them), cilantro and lime juice and salt. You can even add a bit of cabbage to this if you like. Great with chips, on a salad or just to eat like that.

putting lime juice on watermelon sounds terrific! I have never thought of it, but I will have to try it.
