Trim off spikes with a vegetable peeler, then slice in into rounds or wedges. Sprinkle with salt or a squeeze of Meyer Lemon and enjoy! You can also enjoy the pulp alone, eating directly from the shell with a spoon and discard the peel. Add pulp to smoothies, cocktails, or even salad dressings. Also great for making sorbets or granitas. Try using the shell as a creative edible serving dish for ice cream topped with the pulp.
