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.
