Fresh, spring fruit salad combining sweet strawberries and apple with slightly tart, briefly cooked rhubarb, served with creamy natural yogurt. The dish is quick (about 10 minutes of active work), filling yet light — perfect for breakfast or brunch. The salad offers a contrast of textures: soft rhubarb, juicy strawberries, crunchy apple, and creamy yogurt. It can be served with a drizzle of honey and toasted oats for sweetness and crunch, while fresh mint adds aroma and color.

Prepare your workspace and tools: a large bowl, a small saucepan (12–16 cm), a cutting board, a sharp peeler/cutting knife, a mixing spoon, and two smaller bowls for serving. Measure the ingredients according to the list.
Wash the strawberries under cold water, remove the green stems, and cut large strawberries in half or quarters so that the pieces are about 1–2 cm. Leave small strawberries whole. Transfer to a large bowl.
Prepare the rhubarb: trim the tough ends and cut the stalks into pieces about 1 cm long. In a small saucepan, combine 20 g of sugar with 50 ml of water and 20 ml of lemon juice, stir and heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. When the syrup starts to simmer lightly, add the rhubarb and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring — the pieces should soften but not break apart. Transfer the rhubarb to a plate to cool.
Prepare the apple: wash it, cut it into quarters, remove the core, and chop it into small cubes about 1 cm. To prevent browning, immediately drizzle the apple pieces with 5–10 ml (about 1 teaspoon) of lemon juice and gently mix.
Prepare the yogurt sauce: in a bowl, place 300 ml of natural yogurt. If you are using honey (optional), add 30 g of honey and mix vigorously with a spoon for about 20–30 seconds until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly shiny. If you are not using honey, sweeten the yogurt with 5–10 g of sugar to taste.
Combine the fruits: add the chopped apple and cooled rhubarb to the bowl with strawberries. Drizzle evenly with the prepared yogurt sauce. Gently mix with a silicone spatula or a large spoon for 30–45 seconds — mix briefly to keep the fruit pieces firm and intact.
Toppings and serving: transfer the salad to two bowls. Optionally sprinkle the top with 30 g of oats (raw or previously toasted in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned) and garnish with a few mint leaves. Serve immediately or chill for 5–10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Rhubarb was initially cultivated in Europe as a medicinal plant; it was only later that it began to be used in cooking. In Poland, rhubarb is a classic ingredient in spring desserts and compotes.
Serve the salad in clear bowls to showcase the layers of colors. Top the portion with a spoonful of peanut butter or Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt for higher protein content. For children, cut the fruit into smaller pieces.
It is best to consume the salad on the same day. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; the yogurt may thin out the fruits over time. If you plan to store it, do not add oats or mint to the container — add them just before serving.
