Ingredients

  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped into a 1/4 inch dice
  • 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp jalapeno, minced
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp agave syrup
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a simmer. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice and water.
  • Once the water is simmering, add the rhubarb. After 10 seconds, remove the rhubarb immediately and transfer it to the ice bath. Once cool, drain the rhubarb and blot with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • To make the salsa, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Toss completely to combine. Sample for taste, adding more salt, agave, or apple cider vinegar as needed to your liking.
  • Enjoy immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Salsa will keep in refrigerator for 2-3 days.
