Zest lime using Lemon Zester/Scorer to measure 1 teaspoon zest. Juice lime using Juicer to measure 1 tablespoon juice. Chop banana using Food Chopper. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine banana, lime juice and lime zest; mix well.

Yum, where did you find that recipe? I was also thinking you could use kiwi slices around the outside of the bowl, a la the limes in the berry lime trifle.
