Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 cups raw hazelnuts
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon orange blossom water
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces strawberries (about 12 medium), thinly sliced
9 fresh or dried figs, quartered

Steps:

  • Cover the raisins with hot water in a small bowl and let stand until plump, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups chopped rhubarb
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups strawberries, quartered
1 cup blackberries, halved
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • For the rhubarb simple syrup: Put the sugar in a small saucepan with 1 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar starts to dissolve, about 5 minutes. Once it reaches a simmer, add the rhubarb and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is softened and the syrup turns light pink, about 25 minutes. Set the rhubarb syrup aside until cool and slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
  • For the strawberry fruit salad: Put the strawberries and blackberries in a serving bowl and drizzle generously with the rhubarb syrup. Top with the cooked rhubarb. Sprinkle with the basil and mint.

Tips:

  • Select perfectly ripe and fresh strawberries and rhubarb for the best flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the strawberries and rhubarb into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Do not overcook the rhubarb, as it should still retain a slight crunch.
  • Use a combination of granulated and brown sugar for a more complex flavor in the salad.
  • Toast the hazelnuts in a pan or oven to enhance their flavor and add a nutty aroma.
  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor and aroma, and chiffonade them finely for even distribution.
  • Use extra virgin olive oil for a rich and flavorful dressing.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors and balance the sweetness of the salad.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  • Serve the salad immediately for the best texture and flavor, or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This strawberry rhubarb salad is a vibrant and refreshing dish that combines sweet and tart flavors, making it a perfect addition to any summer gathering.
