I volunteer at a food bank, they give the volunteers food for our time. I was given a large bag of limes. I am looking for recipes to use them!

The only real recipes I have are for cilantro lime rice, and corn and lime salsa.

ETA: I am looking meal ideas more than desserts.

Key Lime Pie (doesn't have to use Key Limes, it'll just be a bit more tart).

~~Cilantro Lime Chicken to go with the rice.~~ (nvm didn't notice the comm; chicken substitute would work too tho)

Pico de gallo (also goes with the chicken and rice; won't use many limes tho)

Brazillian "lemonade" (it's made with limes not lemons so I don't know why they call it lemonade)

Mojitos

Yeah, I just noticed the comm and edited my comment a split second before getting this reply 🤣

Vegan chicken substitute should work, too.

Anytime someone suggests a meat, just sub a meatless alt. Daring (the brand) chicken takes marinades beautifully

I do not do a lot of meat substitutes beyond soy curls and the occasional impossible/beyond burger to make Sloppy Josés (what we call vegan sloppy joes).

Fwiw, I'm originally Costa Rican and primarily know "limon" as lime. Thus, limonada is limes. There's also way more varieties of them in Central and South America than North America, which only really knows lime, lemon, and maybe keylime.

Ahh... Yeah, now it makes sense. Just a translation difference.
