Here are some delicious ideas for what to do with pickled lemons:

  • Add to a Tuna sandwich
  • Add pickled lemon, whole or in pieces, to Mediterranean roasted vegetables.
  • Make a punchy North African salad with loads of chopped, flat leaf parsley, black olives, diced red onion, slivers of pickled lemon and olive oil.
  • For roast chicken, try adding herbs and whole pickled lemons to the bird's cavity for more subtle flavor.
