11 Rhubarb Recipes to Make This Spring

rhubarb spring recipes

Spring is an exciting time. Not only do we get to bid the bleak winter skies adieu as we welcome some much-needed sunshine, but we also get to say hello to some of our fave produce. Healthy stalks of asparagus will make an appearance at our local farmers' markets, and we'll be spoiled with peas aplenty. But there's one ingredient that's easy to miss — rhubarb. Keep your eyes peeled for the red stalks, because you're going to want to make one (or ALL) of these 11 divine sweets.
