Recipes Using Lime

Quick CSA Quinoa

The idea for this one came from Damn Delicious, and lives up to it’s name. Who knew a protein explosion could taste so good? The spices and veggies are flexible, but the technique of putting uncooked quinoa into the pot to make a one pot meal is quite handy!


Garlic Cilantro and Citrus Butter

Thank you to fellow Springdellian, Dawn DeMeo, for this recipe. I love different herb butters and they freeze so well you can enjoy them year round. Save some of this one for corn on the cob!


Beet and Kohlrabi Noodles with Cilantro Lime Dressing

This one is a quick and fresh way to enjoy your local ingredients. If you have a spiralizer, or a penchant for cutting a matchstick julienne, this is the recipe for you! It calls for agave syrup, but I believe honey would work as well!
