Shaved Rhubarb Salad with Almonds and Cheese
Tangy raw rhubarb is a bright, refreshing match to the creamy cheese and earthy nuts in this salad. To prepare rhubarb, first trim away any leaves—they should not be eaten. Since you’re slicing the rhubarb paper-thin, it’s not necessary to remove the fibrous strings as is done for other preparations.
