Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- To juice a lime: A lime at room temperature gives the most juice (11/2-2 tablespoons). Before juicing, roll the lime on the counter, pressing down with your hand. If the recipe calls for both zest and juice, grate the zest before squeezing the juice.
