Limón y Sal (English: Lemon and Salt) is the fourth studio album released by Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas. Recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina,[citation needed] it was first released in Mexico on May 30, 2006 and in the United States on June 6, 2006. The album's overall themes deal with the general ups and downs of life and relationships.[citation needed] All the songs were composed by Venegas, with the exception of three songs, where she had the help of Coti Sorokin, Dante Spinetta and Cachorro López.[3] Some notable songs are "Primer Día" with its reggae rhythm, sung in a duet with Dante Spinetta, "De Qué Me Sirve", where she plays the accordion in a tango and "bolero" fashion and "Eres Para Mí", a pop duet with Chilean singer Anita Tijoux.

The album sold 50,000 copies upon three days of its initial release in Mexico.[4] It reached 100,000 sales in Mexico within a month of its release.[5]

It was nominated for Album of the Year at the 7th Latin Grammy Awards, winning for Best Alternative Music Album.[6]

The song "Canciones de Amor" was used in the 2007 film The Heartbreak Kid, while "Mírame Bien" was used as the opening theme for the 2011-2012 Brazilian telenovela A Vida da Gente (The Life We Lead).
