Yes, I thought I would get your attention with this title!
For a recipe I needed the zes of a couple of lemons and oranges. So now I have 3 naked lemons and 1 naked orange laying around.
I hate waisting food, so I was wondering what I could do with them. I don't have a juicer, otherwise it would've been a no brainer of course.
I'm thinking of using one of the lemons for a salad dressing tonight. But what to do with the rest?
Suggestion anyone?

Freeze the juice in an ice cube tray ( use a fork to help squeeze ).

It's a shame it's no longer Christmas time, otherwise I would have suggested slicing them up, slow-drying them in a low oven and using them as Christmas decorations

If you don't have a juicer, just cut into quarters and squeeze them. Sure you'll miss some, but it beats chucking the whole thing. Then:
Squeeze the lemon juice onto salad along with drizzles of olive oil, or make a "vinaigrette"-style salad dressing with the lemon juice, oil, a bit of Dijon mustard, s&p. Or add it to soup. Any soup, everything is better with a bit of lemon juice in it.
Or, slice into thin slices, and:
Muddle lemon slices with sugar, add water = lemonade
Muddle lemon slices with sugar, add rum = a quasi-caipirinha

Just made lemon bread Surf, so making a lemon cake would be a bit mucho ;-)
Ha Liiisa, I did make a salad last night with the juice of one of the lemons. I am thinking about making tabouleh for lunch, 'cause that would enable me to use another lemon.

Freeze slices to squeeze in to gin and tonics in the summer?

Use lemon juice in tea - I have the juice of about half a lemon in my mug of black tea. Yum!

What wombat said.
To juice, use a fork. Cut fruit in half, stick a fork in cut side and use as reemer, squeezing juice into a bowl. Strain out seeds. Pour into ice cube trays.
Haven't had a fruit juicer in years.
