The zest is the peel of the lime. Get your small cheese grater out, the one for parmesan and gently scrape the lime against it. Those tiny shavings are the zest. It is better if you get past the deep green and get the lighter green part; that's the reason for the little cheese grater. You get greater control with the little one and can get varying shades of green.
