Every good salad dressing is a combination of acid, oil, an emulsifier and seasoning. This salad dressing is no different. The tart, acidic addition comes from the rhubarb juice and a touch of red wine vinegar. It’s blended with canola oil, a nice neutral oil that I love for salad dressings. It’s all held together and seasoned with mustard, honey and a touch of salt and pepper.

That pretty pink hue comes from the rhubarb juice. Read How to Make Rhubarb Juice to learn how to quick and easy it is to make – basically boil and strain. You can even turn that juice into amazing Rhubarb Simple Syrup which you can use for tasty cocktails and mocktails.

HOW TO STORE THIS SALAD AND DRESSING?

Once you dress tender fresh greens, they will not store very well at all. To keep your salad as fresh as possible, dress just before serving or better yet, serve the dressing on the side. This way, each person can add their desired amount and any leftover salad can be kept for another day.

Store this dressing in the fridge and use it and other creamy salad dressings within 5-7 days.
