Allergic to lemon
So many recipes call for lemon as a seasoning. I am allergic. What else can I use to get the same result?

p.s. have you followed the golden rule here?(SEARCH IN GOOGLE) for Lemon substitutes
Keep in mind that when using a replacement or alternate ingredient your dishes won't taste exactly the same, or need the same volume specified for lemon juice (sometimes more, sometimes less).
In practice, start with a smaller amount of the substitute ingredient & taste. If more is needed, add. (Always easier to add than compensate for too much.)
Use odds and ends of wine, left open but undrunk after a meal.
Use other fruits that are not in the citrus family, but are highly acidic.
Play with flavors and textures: use a combination of solid, chopped &/or juices from these fruits.

For salads that use lemon juice in the dressing white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar are good basics to use
