TIP: 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.

MAKE AHEAD TIP: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

ChupaNote: I use this dressing tossed with black beans and brown rice salad. Also good on baked potatoes.
