Strawberries and rhubarb are a power duo in pie; here raw rhubarb plays a tart counter to sweet strawberries.

Cooks' Note

Cooks' note:

Resist the urge to make the salad the night before, or the rhubarb may become too soft.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    45 minutes

  • Yield

1/4 cup torn fresh mint leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
