Description
Make this strawberry rhubarb salad with vinaigrette dressing for a sweet, tangy, vibrant, and nutritious salad perfect for spring and summer!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (200 grams) rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 to 3 teaspoons honey or coconut sugar
- 4 to 5 cups mixed greens (arugula/spinach/etc), chopped
- 2 cup strawberries, quartered
- 1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
- Pinch sea salt
- Pinch coarse black pepper
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (see notes for toasted option)
- Optional: 1/4-1/3 cup goat cheese or feta crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Toss the rhubarb with honey and spread in an even layer on the baking sheet. Roast on the upper rack for 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly softened (don’t over cook otherwise it will be mushy). Remove and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, add the mixed greens, strawberries, mint, and strawberries.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad.
- Top with rhubarb, almonds, and optional feta or goat cheese.
- Store leftover ingredients separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
Rhubarb Tip – Look for thin, red, crisp stalks. Soft limp stalks are often the result of being too ripe.
Toasting Almonds – Place the almonds in a medium-sized skillet without oil. Toast over medium heat, shaking the skillet and stirring until fragrant and the sliced almonds are a light golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the toasted almonds to a plate or bowl to cool.
