Method

Combine egg whites, cream of tartar and salt. Beat until frothy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff glossy peaks form. Meringue should be shiny and moist and all sugar dissolved.
Spread over bottom and sides of a well-greased 9" pie pan. Build up sides. (You can make fancy edge with cake decorator, if desired.)
