I was flipping through the pages of Bon Appetite magazine & came across a recipe for strawberry-rhubarb salad. Being a forever fan of the pie version (my mom still makes the best strawberry rhubarb pie!). Coincidentally, my sister-in-law, Dulcie, asked me how else she could prepare rhubarb. Clearly the universe was telling me that I needed to try out the salad. It did not disappoint. It was every bit tangy & sweet that the pie is but in a healthy salady-bite. I did change it up a bit from the original recipe swapping out hazelnuts for walnuts & adding some arugla because it’s what I had on hand - & I just love arugula. <br />PS: This recipe calls for mint. I could only find a small potted plant of the mint - wish me luck keeping her alive & green because my thumb is not. <br />PPS: Bon Appetit suggests not making this salad the night before in fear that the rhubarb will breakdown too much & become too soft. Make it as close to serving time as possible. <br /> <br />Recipe adapted from <a href="http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/strawberry-rhubarb-salad-with-mint-and-hazelnuts>Bon Appetit Magazine’s Strawberry-Rhubarb Salad with Mint & Hazlenuts</a>.
