Springtime Lemon Bars

These Springtime Lemon Bars were delicious and so easy to make. I guarantee you will be a hit. Made with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh strawberries. Add a dusting of powdered sugar and yum !.

Serve them up at your next pot luck or dish to pass gathering. They are sure to be a hit. If you want to make a short cut version try using a lemon cake mix and add the confectioner's sugar dusting and the sliced strawberries. My family loved these and polished them off very quickly. Give them a try and let me know how they worked out or if you made any adjustments.
