Raw Rhubarb, Cucumber, and Mint Salad

This salad is a change of pace from a normal salad routine. It's a bit tart and very refreshing. The author suggests serving it with olive oil poached salmon.

Raw Rhubarb, Cucumber, and Mint Salad (from The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen)

Ingredients
2 young rhubarb stalks
1 crisp medium cucumber, peeled
2 tbsp coarse salt

2. Toss rhubarb and cucumber with coarse salt and let stand 10 minutes. Rinse and drain.
