1 each orange, lemon and lime
2 tbsp (25 mL) minced fresh parsley
1 tsp (5 mL) minced hot_pepper

Finely grate 1 tsp (5 mL) each of the orange, lemon and lime rind; place in large bowl.
Working over same bowl to catch juice, cut off rind and outer membrane of orange. Cut between membrane and pulp to release fruit, squeezing membranes to extract juice; finely chop segments and place in bowl. Repeat for lemon and lime. Stir in parsley, 1 tbsp (15 mL) water and hot pepper.
