How to Cut a Lime to Get All the Juice

No more wasting lime juice! Use this ingenious cutting trick.

Lime juice can be used in any dish to add flavor and depth that might be lacking. Rice, for instance, absorbs flavor easily, so adding a little lime juice as it cooks will give it a bit of tang. Lime juice can also be added to any sauce or dressing to give it a more complex flavor profile.

In addition, lime juice works well in dishes where there is a complementary ingredient. In many dishes, cilantro and lime are paired to enhance flavor. A mixture of coconut and lime is also an interesting play on the combination of sweet and sour.
