This vibrant quick-pickled rhubarb salad offers a sophisticated blend of tart, sweet and savoury notes. By briefly steeping the rhubarb in a sweetened red wine vinegar brine, the stalks lose their sharp edge while retaining a satisfying crunch. Paired with thinly sliced fennel and celery, this vegan dish provides a refreshing contrast of textures that works beautifully as a light lunch or a palate-cleansing starter for a spring dinner party.
Preparing the rhubarb in advance makes this recipe an effortless addition to your weekly meal plan, as the pickles will keep well in the fridge for up to a week. The pickling liquid itself doubles as a bright dressing, requiring only a drizzle of good quality olive oil to finish. It is a nutritious, low-fat option that highlights how seasonal British produce can be transformed with simple pantry staples.
