Review: First of all, my receipt says lemon, not lime. I’m not sure if the cashier rung this purchase up wrong or if they have limes in their database in some weird Spanish-English hybrid of definition and spelling? I will admit, this lime is almost perfectly spherical, unlike most of the football-shaped limes I usually get on my nights of tequila swilling and domino-playing. Jewel’s limes are always tart and juicy. So tart that my taste buds tingle when I get to the “suck” part of the ritual… at least until my third or fourth go of it. No tequila for me tonight though. This lime was bought strictly as a flavor enhancer, as you will see below.

Kevin’s Garbage Salad Recipe: (Go to step 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
11. Okay, so you have your salad. It’s looking pretty appetizing, right? Better than your average salad. You may not think it needs anything else. Well, you are wrong. Just trust me. Take your lime. Cut it in quarters. Lightly squeeze one of the quarters and drizzle the juice over the salad. Be gentle. Go easy on the squeezy. You only need a little to make your salad pop.
There you have it. My own interpretation of a Garbage Salad. Sure, it could have used some apple slices, but apples make my tongue itch and the apples at the grocery store today looked as if they had just gotten out of sparring practice at the YACA.
I will try to remember to take a picture of the salad after I actually construct it tonight and post it here tomorrow. If any of you have any comments or suggestions on my recipe, please don’t hesitate. Also, if any of you actually try my recipe, let me know what you think!
Bon Appetit and BAM!
