How do you use Lemon in Greek cuisine?

[paharo45]

I know that lemons are common in Greek cuisine. I cook Greek all the time, and I use lemons a lot!

What are some traditional Greek dishes that you use lemons for? I am curious what people do. I tend to make a lot of ladolemono and use it to marinate meats. I also use it as a garnish all the time for both meats and vegetables like spinach, asparagus, etc.

I had thought all Greeks use lemon a lot, but I went over someone's house (Greek) and they didn't seem as into it as my family is...

Apart from savory dishes you mentioned, I also use lemons in desserts, like lemon olive oil cake, Greek Ekmek Kataifi and Galaktoboureko.

These recipes all look delicious. I make something similar to the lemon olive oil cake but I use oranges! Funny, I never thought to use lemons.
