Limón y Sal ("Lemon and Salt") is the title of the fourth studio album released by Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas. It was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina and first released in Mexico on May 30, 2006 and in the United States on June 6, 2006. To date the album has sold over 4.5 millon copies worldwide.

The album's overall themes deal with the general ups and downs of life and relationships. All the songs were composed by Venegas, with the exception of three songs, where she had the help of Coti Sorokin and Cachorro López. Some notable songs are "Primer Día" and its reggae rhythm, sung in a duet with Dante Spinetta. In "De Qué Me Sirve" she plays the accordion in a tango and "bolero" fashion. "Eres Para Mí" is a duet with Chilean singer Anita Tijoux.

The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2006, winning one prize for Best Alternative Music Album and won for Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album, sharing a historical tie with Ricardo Arjona and his album "Adentro"

The song "Canciones de Amor" was used in the 2007 film The Heartbreak Kid.

The song "Mírame Bien" was used as the opening theme for the 2011-2012 Brazilian telenovela A Vida da Gente (The Life We Lead).

"Me Voy", the first single, is widely considered Venegas's most successful song ever, reaching top positions in the U.S. Billboard Hot Latin Tracks #1, Latin Pop Airplay #8, Spain #1, Italy #3, and other parts of Europe. The song topped the Swiss charts at #12. The second single "Limón y Sal" reached the #24 position in the U.S. Latin Pop Airplay charts, and the #2 position in Spain and Mexico.

The fourth single was "Primer Día", featuring the rapper Dante Spinetta and having success on the music charts in Mexico and reaching #13 in Spain.
