In place of vinegar, finger limes give this mignonette its zing (pulp from regular limes works just as well).

  • I used fresh lime instead of finger lime. The mignonette was just perfect with fresh-shucked oysters of several varieties. Even my husband, who prefers his oysters unadorned, enjoyed it very much. I will definitely make this again!
