The color of summer salad
The green and red color makes you feel happy to enjoy the meal and it delivers the feeling of summer! I’m sure that it is one of the best strawberry salads!

Health benefits
Above all, this summer salad would be perfect for digestion and weight loss. Rhubarb is one of my favorite vegetables (yes, did you, know it is considered as a vegetable?). It has great nutritional value. Both rhubarb and strawberries have vitamin C, so it’s really good for the immune system.
On the other hand – apples, that are packed with lots of minerals (an apple a day, keeps the doctor away, yes?). Well, you get all the vitamins, fiber, minerals, antioxidants, detoxifiers, anti-aging – all in one delicious plate!
As a final point, all the ingredients in this salad make a healthy and delicious plate of food, that we all should eat every day!

I’ve never thought of using rhubarb in a salad, but I’m going to give this a go; it looks so fresh, beautiful and bright, and a definitely a change to a green leaf salad.
I actually love eating rhubarb stalks just like that, so I thought they will be great in a summer fruit salad like this one. I’m sure you will love this salad, too!
This is a happy Salad. With fun colors and so summery. Love it.
Thank you! I guess I need to rename it to happy salad! Summer is happiness with all its lovely produce 🙂

I love strawberry and apples in salad, but never tried rhubarb. This looks good!
Rhubarb is like juicy sour apple to my taste. Perfect in combination with sweet strawberries!
