Today I’m wrapping up my citrus series with this collection of 30 of the Best Lime Recipes. If you’re new here you’ll also want to check out 30 of the Best Lemon Recipes and 30 of the Best Orange Recipes. You can never have too much citrus!

When I think of limes images of margaritas, seafood, & fresh pico de gallo come to mind. This list includes all of those plus many more ways to prepare incredible food with lime. And what better time to prepare them than in the hot months of summer?

1. Blackberry Lime Margaritas

Margaritas are such a summer staple for me. I prefer the sweeter versions that introduce other fun fruit so I’m totally on board with this yummy twist. Plus you can’t beat this gorgeous color!

4. Siracha Lime Chicken Salad

I’m so passionate about making (and eating) an incredible salad. This particular salad caught my eye because it’s packed with big flavors. Both the marinade and dressing include lime so you’ll get plenty of that delicious citrus you’re craving.

5. Key Lime Mango Crab Cake Salad

She had me at key lime aioli. Really. That’s all it takes. There’s lime in the salad dressing too. This is such a lovely light lunch for these warm weather days.

8. Grapefruit Lime Cocktail with Ginger & Rosemary

My husband is a huge fan of a grapefruit cocktail and he’s won me over. This beautiful drink is a definite upgrade from his though. I especially love any opportunity to use fresh herbs so I’m excited about the rosemary!

9. Pico de Gallo

You can’t beat fresh homemade pico de gallo as a dip or topping for basically anything. I put it on chicken, eggs, in an omelet, on a burger… the list goes on. It’s full of bright bold flavors that’s beautifully complimented with a heavy dose of fresh lime juice.

10. Skillet Asparagus with Lime Butter

Asparagus is typically paired with lemon but why not use lime instead? And red pepper flakes? Yes!

11. Grilled Chili Cilantro Lime Chicken

If you’re not grilling all summer long we can’t be friends. Seriously though. Summer = grilling. It’s all about the marinade for me and this one is a winner.

12. Tangy Lime Bars

I know I’ve shared one lime bar already but I couldn’t resist adding another because lime and lemon are totally destined to be made into dessert bars.

16. Perfect Mojito

When I think of mojitos I always think of the Kentucky Derby because it was at a Kentucky Derby viewing party that I tried my very first mojito. I remember how surprised I was by the mint and lime combo. A great mojito is just so refreshing and exactly what you need for summer!

17. Grilled Chicken with Fennel & Apricots

21. Mango Key Lime Coconut Popsicles

I think we can all agree to coconut and lime belong together. If you get that then you’re really going to love these popsicles. Plus she didn’t even use popsicle molds! She created these sweet treats with little paper cups (like the kind my son keeps in his bathroom for mouthwash) and popsicle sticks!

22. Zucchini Lime Cupcakes

I’m such a sucker for little cupcakes and cookies. I promise it’s not because I’m trying to eat less. I just eat more of them to equal whatever I’d eat if they were larger. But they’re so stinkin’ cute!
