Mixed Greens Salad w/ Roasted Rhubarb, Strawberries, Goat Cheese & Pistachios

i usually think of rhubarb as a dessert.

pie.

crisp.

bars.

loaves.

cobbler.

sinful.

i decided to approach my second 'rhubarb care package' in a healthier fashion, a salad.

a salad studded with strawberries, goat cheese & pistachios, because everyone knows a salad isn't a salad unless you have an ample supply of cheese and nuts.

this is most certainly rhubarb reimagined, at least for me.

dinner = salad

cobbler = dessert
