from Rhubarb Snap Pea & Mung Bean Salad, the Week of May 20, 2012.
View the next recipe for this meal.

Rhubarb is breaking away from its usual partner, strawberry, lending its tangy brightness to naturally sweet snap peas for a delightful salad with a sprinkle of walnuts, crumble of feta cheese and handful of bitter arugula. If you skip the feta just add a pinch more salt.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup rhubarb, 1 inch pieces
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or honey
  • 2 cups snap peas, trimmed
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 1 cup arugula, or spinach
  • 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled, optional or nuts to make it vegan
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper, to taste

Preparation Instructions

Place the chunks of rhubarb, water and maple syrup in a skillet over medium heat. Cover with a lid and bring up to a simmer. Once the rhubarb is softened and just a bit of liquid remains, toss in the crumbled walnuts. They will suck up the remaining liquid and be sweetened in the process. Remove from the heat to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the arugula. Cut the snap peas into bite sized chunks. Toss the rhubarb, snap peas, arugula, and feta cheese with the salt & pepper. Taste. Add a pinch more salt & pepper if desired.
