Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

Rhubarb crisp is one of those classic desserts that always reminds me of my childhood.  This recipe includes strawberries as the farmer’s market was bursting with pints of them! (The rhubarb was sold out at many of the stations, so I was glad to find some!)

I made this recipe for all of my girlfriends to enjoy while watching our guilty pleasure, The Bachelorette, but feel free to eat it while watching any show. Haha.

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ cup butter, softened
¼ teaspoon salt
