Lime Bars Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Elle / All my dishes 2 years, 8 months ago These are so tangy and tart, but still sweet and delicious. This is one of my favorites, and it's from Ann Hodgman's Beat This. GREAT cookbook, and so is Beat That, her follow up. The citrus salt is optional, but really gives these bars that pucker-up factor.... More Prep:10m Cook:40m Servings:16	Elle
