Ways that I use Lemons:

1. Squeeze half a lemon in my water throughout the day, or warm water in the morning.

2. Lemon and Dill Salmon - Squeeze Lemon over the uncooked salmon pieces, sprinkle

fresh dill and cook for approximately 10 minutes on 400 degrees.

3. Make Guacamole - Mash up an avocado, add some lemon and garlic and mix together. Great for chips, vegetables, and on any kind of sandwiches.

4. Salad Dressing - Mix Lemon with Olive Oil and drizzle over a sweet salad (spinach with berries is my favourite).

5. When I am out I tend to put Doterra Lemon Essential Oil in my water (people might look at me weird if I start pulling out a lemon everywhere I go).
