Rhubarb Radish & Pea Spring Salad
with Orange Mint and Pistachio
A seasonal dish this salad sings in spring with fresh, crisp, sweet, tangy flavours. I love rhubarb; most people associate rhubarb with dessert, pudding and pie; this recipe always delights!
If you could put spring in a bowl, this would definitely be one of the salads. All the flavours balance each other nicely, a simple, snappy yet sophisticated recipe that’s high in fibre, loaded with vitamins, minerals and heart lovin’ goodness.
