STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB CHILLED SALAD

Strawberry-Rhubarb Chilled Salad image

This salad came from my mom's recipe box, which means it's one of those fabulous chilled salads from the early 1960's. I haven't made it in a long time so not 100% sure about times for chilling...

This is a great way to use left over rhubarb sauce. Your kids may not even know rhubarb is a key ingredient. Excellent salad with poultry. Another serving suggestion: Make in 9x13 cut in squares and serve topped with your favorite chicken salad.
