Lime

Catch me putting them on everything I make until June. (And probably after, TBH.)

The deliciously spiced, light and citrusy ceviche recipe from Commander's Palace in New Orleans.

This cabbage salad is packed with herbs that make it taste super fresh and green—and it's perfect for a crowd.

Yes, you can serve this in a punch bowl if you don't have any coconut shells lying around!

Test kitchen manager Brad Leone will take this acai bowl over a smoothie any day.

Our readers can't stop making this festive cranberry pie.

This tangy and slightly tropical curd recipe makes a good layer cake or meringue pie filling. Or, you know, dip shortbread cookies into it. If gifting this, transfer it to a glass jar and make sure the lucky recipient knows to keep it chilled.

These flavorful marinated onions also make a great condiment for grilled steak.

Quick-cooking shrimp get a flavor boost from cilantro, beer, and lots of fresh lime.

If you like lox, bacon, or anchovies, you should thank salt—and time. That's all that it takes to turn supermarket limes into this pleasantly salt-tart-funky pantry staple, the sibling of preserved lemons.
