This was a simple and delicious dish! Its cool, lime-infused taste went very well with the spicy Mexican entree we had for dinner. The whole family liked it. Thanks for a great recipe Littleturtle :)

This was good, but I used a micro plane for the ginger and lime - that was too harsh. Also try adding a bit of cinamon -picks things up nicely.

Very very good combination of flavors. I enjoyed mine with a dollop of yogurt, like many of the previous reviewers suggested - and I froze the leftovers: I am eager to see how it turns out! Thanks for the great recipe!

Very nice. I served this for breakfast with Greek yoghurt and it was delicious.

I loved the combination of lime and orange zest with the gingerrot. I did reduce the amount of honey by half and drizzled the mixture over a bowl of melon, peaches and bananas. This was served for breakfast and topped with some plain yogurt.
