In stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment or with hand mixer, whip egg whites with salt, lime juice, and vanilla until foamy, then gradually add sugar.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then pipe meringue into 6 equal mounds about 4 inches across. Bake for 1 hour, turn and continue baking until outside is slightly firm but not browned, 30 to 50 minutes longer. Turn oven off and allow pavlovas to cool to room temperature in oven, at least 40 minutes. Store in an airtight container once cooled for up to 3 days.
