In our kitchens, recipes using lemons brighten every course! Read on for sides, mains and desserts with a citrusy zing.

No supermarket run is complete without grabbing a lemon, because what can’t this citrus do? Lemons add spectacular brightness to savory entrees and tangy summer desserts alike. With lemons in your kitchen, you can turn even the simplest chicken recipes and pantry dinners into a memorable meal.

For the freshest flavor when making recipes using lemons, remember to store your lemons the right way (in the fridge, not on the counter). To keep lemon juice on hand, check out our method for juicing a lemon. Then, fill an ice cube tray with freshly squeezed juice and freeze for later. You’ll be able to add a pop of zest to your cooking whenever!
