Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh rhubarb
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the rhubarb, then cut it into thin 1/4-inch slices.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the rhubarb slices and sugar. Place over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens slightly but still holds its shape. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, baby spinach or mixed greens, and crumbled feta cheese.
Step 4
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Once the rhubarb has cooled completely, add it to the salad bowl along with its juices.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, tangy-sweet salad!
