What To Make With What’s On Sale: Limes

It’s Friday (already?!…where did this week go?) — time for What To Make With What’s On Sale!  At Sunflower Market this week, limes are just $0.20 each.

With this hot weather we’ve had lately, anything with the refreshing addition of lime is a welcome treat.  Here are eight recipes that use limes!

This 5-star Cilantro-Lime Dressing is good for salads, and it can also be used as a marinade or sauce for chicken or fish.  (Several reviewers said the dressing was a little on the sweet side and suggested reducing the honey to a quarter cup.)

Rachael Ray’s Jalapeno-Lime Corn on the Cob is a must-try.  If you need to reduce the heat level, use just half a jalapeno and be sure to remove all the seeds.  The lime-butter mixture also makes a tasty addition to any variety of steamed veggies!

Lime desserts are perfect for summer!  This Glazed Lime Cake is easy to make and would be great to take to a barbecue or potluck.

The Pioneer Woman’s Key Lime Pie — that she admittedly makes with regular limes, not key limes — is simple, creamy, and delicious.

This 10-Minute Lime Cracker Pie is on my menu plan for next week!  Four ingredients (sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, limes, and Ritz crackers!) and just a few minutes are all you need to put this dessert together.

Lime juice is perfect addition to summer drinks — here are three yummy drink recipes that include lime:

Simple Watermelon Cooler – The combination of watermelon and lime makes a very flavorful drink.  Whole seedless watermelon is only $0.25/pound at Sunflower Market this week!

Cucumber Lime Smoothie – Cucumbers, lime juice, and sugar — simple and refreshing.

Brazilian Lemonade – This “lemonade” actually uses limes, and sweetened condensed milk gives it a creamy texture.

What’s your favorite way to use limes?
