meyer lemon

you may have noticed there's no picture of a meyer lemon here. apparently i missed that step.

there is, however, a picture of spinach salad with meyer lemon dressing and completely ruined parmesan frico. the salad part was pretty decent. i burned the crap out of the frico, though, and over-spiced it - no idea how it was supposed to taste. especially since the cheese was supposed to be asiago, not parmesan. the recipe is at http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Spinach-and-Celery-Salad-with-Lemon-Vinaigrette-235152 you could probably do it better. really, my cat could probably do it better than i did.


admissions of culinary guilt aside, i liked the meyer lemon enough to waste it on basic dinner salads instead of waiting to do a real recipe. it was pretty awesome tossed with a little dijon mustard, spinach, and some parmesan cheese. the meyer lemon was rounder, smoother, and oranger than a regular lemon. i don't know if it was sweeter or otherwise different in flavor. i wish i had a description of what the lemon tasted like plain, but that'll have to wait until next year. i meant to follow up with marmalade and lemonade, but the lemons disappeared from the market.
