lemon wedges

Yellow fruit segments

Lemon wedges are triangular slices cut from a lemon, typically served alongside food or drinks for squeezing fresh juice over them.

They accompany fish, seafood, salads, and iced tea, allowing diners to add citrus brightness to taste: The fish came with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

A wedge provides more juice and easier squeezing than a thin wheel or slice.
