How to cut citrus fruit into sections
 The fleshy sections of lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits add brightness, acidity, color and flavor to salads, pasta sauces and just about anything else you can think of. Here's a quick way to remove them and leave behind the bitter connective tissue. |
| First, cut the fruit in half along its "equator," with the stem ends facing top and bottom. |  |
| Working over a bowl, hold the fruit cut-side up with your free hand. With your other hand, run the knife between the flesh and the peel, rotating the fruit as you go. Work deeper and deeper, eventually freeing most of the flesh from the skin. |  |
| Now slice between each of the sections to free them from the thin white membrane holding them in place. |  |
| Now just use the tip of your knife to flip the freed sections into the bowl. |  |
