We’ve loaded this amazing keto salad <\/strong>with fresh fennel and other crisp vegetables topped with toasted cashews and tossed in a sweet apple cider vinaigrette.<\/p>\n YES, this salad is low-carb and perfect for the keto diet as rhubarb is low in carbs.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Healthy salads are always part of our menu plan during the summer months especially since produce is easily accessible.<\/p>\n Most importantly we try to add lots of fibre to our diet to keep the system moving all of which rhubarb has to offer.<\/p>\n Summer salads in our kitchen always include a protein so pairing this rhubarb salad with BBQ’d Atlantic salmon was a hit.<\/p>\n Mrs. CBB added sugar-free maple syrup<\/strong><\/a> instead to keep the rhubarb salad and salmon dish keto-friendly.<\/p>\n Growing rhubarb has been an experience for us since Mrs.CBB had never tried it before. I know shocking right?<\/p>\n From a financial standpoint, I couldn’t believe how expensive it was to buy at the supermarket.<\/p>\n Buying rhubarb out of season or even in-season will hit your pocketbook hard but worth it if you don’t have a green thumb.<\/p>\n The rhubarb in-season was priced at $4.99\/lb at the time of writing this blog post.<\/p>\n If you enjoy rhubarb all you need is one rhubarb plant and it will give you many harvests throughout the season.<\/p>\n Our rhubarb season in Ontario starts in May and we finish harvesting into the last week of August.<\/p>\n Depending on where you live even in Ontario this may differ but this is what happens at our house.<\/p>\n Everyone wants to know so I’m going to set the record straight.<\/p>\n Rhubarb is a vegetable however it’s used mainly as a fruit for its tart flavour.<\/p>\n The crunch of rhubarb is similar to that of celery but it tastes like a very tart green apple.<\/p>\n The rhubarb stalks (petioles) are long and tender and can be a bright red or pale green colour.<\/p>\n Most people enjoy rhubarb dipped in sugar or paired with other fruits.<\/p>\n Other favourite ways to eat rhubarb is topped with whipped cream, custard, or baked into a pie or square.<\/p>\n Heck, you can even make Keto rhubarb smoothie too!<\/p>\n One cup of uncooked rhubarb<\/b> contains 26 calories<\/b>, 1.1g of protein, 0.2g of fat, 5.5g of carbohydrates, 2.2g of fiber, and 1.3g of sugar.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Rhubarb<\/b> offers lots of vitamins and minerals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It’s a very good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and manganese. – Precisionnutrition.com Just today not only did we make this gorgeous rhubarb salad but we also made a large pan of strawberry rhubarb custard bars<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n In the past, we’ve used our rhubarb also to make rhubarb jam and topped ice-cream with it.<\/p>\n Where to plant rhubarb?<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m no pro BUT judging by the size of our rhubarb plant and where it is planted I’d say plant it right next to the downspout of your home.<\/p>\n When it rains it will make sure your rhubarb plant gets plenty of water. Our back garden also gets lots of sunshine during the day.<\/p>\n This has served our rhubarb plant well over the past 20 years of its life and now gives us more rhubarb than we know what to do with.<\/p>\n Most years we give it away to friends and family who happily come and pick some up.<\/p>\n Related:<\/strong> How to grow rhubarb<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n
