Lime

This recipe calls for lime juice—rather than lemon juice or vinegar—to brighten the sweet flavor of summer tomatoes. We used heirloom varieties for their exceptional taste and vivid colors, but you can use any kind or size—from the farmers’ market or your own backyard—as long as they are ripe.

For indirect cooking on a charcoal grill, rake hot coals onto opposite sides before grilling; place a foil pan in the center to catch drippings. Set the turkey on the grates over the pan; grill, covered but with the vents partially opened.

We serve this creamy rice dish with grilled skewered shrimp and a spicy lime dipping sauce.

To reduce the fat, we eliminated the cheese and toasted the corn tortillas in the oven rather than frying them in oil.

This recipe makes more than you will need for the salad; serve extra sauce on the side so guests can help themselves. Unused sauce can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator up to 4 days.

Sesame oil is a good source of vitamin E.

Some varieties of noodles suggest soaking them in boiling water instead of cooking them; check your package instructions before preparing them.

The stock must be refrigerated at least 6 hours; make it 1 day ahead.
