One of my favorite flavors in the summer is lemon. I mean, come on, what is the signature drink of summer? Lemonade! So what is one of the quintessential desserts of summer? Lemon bars! Make a super easy lemon bar recipe today and be the hero of your next bbq.

What a better compliment to the savory foods of a bbq than a light, sweet, tart dessert? This bar really has the perfect balance of tartness/sweetness. This recipe says it serves 9, but I recommend cutting into smaller servings for get-togethers. It is rich enough for serving smaller portions.
