To zest a lime with a vegetable peeler:
Hold the lime in one hand and the peeler in the other. Beginning at the top of the fruit and working your way around the lime, use the peeler to cut into the skin and carefully remove part of the peel in thick, wide strips. Avoid going so deep as to remove the bitter white pith.
