No matter what you’re eating, I bet it can be improved with a spritz of citrus. Try it! You’ll see! Grilled chicken and broccoli? Lame. Grilled chicken and broccoli and a spritz of lemon juice? YUM! But don’t put yourself in lemon jail! Limes and oranges are brilliant flavor boosters, too. Lime is particularly good with Mexican flavors: cilantro, chili powder, and cumin. Orange is nice with Asian (five-spice powder, ginger) and Middle Eastern (orange + cumin + parsley = profound deliciousness). Want to be even bolder? Sure you do! Grate a little of the zest over your plate for instant wow.
