Limes are available all year round, but are in their peak season in the spring.
Limes can enhance the flavor of fish, fruit salad, vegetables and chicken. Select brightly colored, smooth-skinned limes that are heavy for their size. In a blender or small food processor blend the garlic paste, the mustard, the lime juice, the mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the oil in a stream. Blend the mixture until it is emulsified, add enough of the water to thin the vinaigrette to the desired consistency, and blend the vinaigrette until it is combined well.
