Evelyn Said:

What is your favorite recipe using fresh lime?

We Answered:

When I think limes, I like to start off with drinks.
Gin and Tonic or a Mojito (somthing about the lime-mint and sugar are very nice). For a virgin Mojito, use ginger ale.

Savory entrees:
Use lime as a marinade for beef, chicken or pork to make fajitas or Thai Beef Salad
