Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp
Rhubarb has a sour/tart flavour and compliments Strawberries well, but remember that you don’t eat the leaves as they contain a toxin that will make you ill. Cut the leaves off and just eat the stalks. This Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp is a perfect dessert and you can try serving it with some low calorie vanilla ice cream or other low calorie topping.
