Raw Lemon Bars

I have a delicious recipe for you, and this time it is not a salad, but rather a wonderful dessert, perfect for tea parties or anytime. It is vegan and gluten free and uses all raw ingredients, but is not weird. It is a treat that anyone would love.

My friend invited a few friends over for tea. I was thrilled to be able to bring a plate of these to share.

THANK YOU For this recipe! It is incredible. Even my children are loving it! They thought they were going to suffer when we began to eat more raw recipes, but they are loving it and feeling better to boot!

Thank you again.

for most vegans honey is not considered vegan, so technically this recipe is not vegan. however, in place of the honey i plan to use agave syrup which is accepted universally as vegan. thanks for posting this recipe!
