Print this recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups rhubarb, in ¼- inch dice (about 2 medium stalks)
cup finely minced scallions
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1/2 cup pickled cocktail onions, halved
2 teaspoons honey or agave
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
Salt
Chipotle powder or cayenne

Preparation

1
Fill a large bowl with a little more than halfway with cold water. Add a 2 cups of ice to create an ice bath. Set aside.
2
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add rhubarb and cook for 20 seconds.
3
Using a slotted spoon, remove rhubarb from the pot and place directly into the ice bath.
4
Allow the pieces to cool for 1-2 minutes before draining on a paper towel. Gently pat dry with additional towels – the pieces do not have to be 100%% dry, but the amount of additional moisture should be minimized.
5
Once the rhubarb has been patted dry, transfer rhubarb to a medium bowl and fold in spring onion, jalapeño and onions.
6
In a small bowl, mix honey into 1 tablespoon of vinegar then stir into salsa.
7
Season with kosher salt and chipotle powder and cayenne to taste. If you find your salsa is a bit too tart, you can add more honey.
