I love a lemon! A squeeze of juice or a little fresh zest is the easiest way to make just about anything taste brighter, and these lemon recipes show it off. Whisk up a tangy, 5-minute Lemon Caesar Dressing, or blend it into a light, airy Creamy Tahini Hummus with Lemon and Garlic. It brightens a Creamy Red Lentil Soup with parsley and feta, and it’s the perfect finish for briny, buttery Sardine Toast and a quick Octopus Salad with Potatoes and Olives. It even lifts a Sicilian Pistachio Pesto. Tip: always zest your lemon before you juice it, since it’s much harder once it’s been cut. Rolling a room-temperature lemon firmly on the counter first also helps you get more juice out of it.
