I rarely take the time to plan ahead to marinade something. I am a last minute cook. But, when I do marinade, this citrus marinade is one of my favorites. It is so versatile! It can go in salads, Mexican recipes, wraps, etc. It is a great way to use up the left over citrus. I used the chicken in a Mexican bowl the first night with lime cilantro rice, black beans and roasted peppers, onions and squash. The next night to make it look like a different dinner, I chopped up all the ingredients, heated it up, added in some chopped kale just till barely warmed and tossed it all in a lemon vinaigrette. It ended up being such a yummy and filling salad!
