Don't let your strawberry feel lonely

Strawberry, Greens, Roasted Pecan and Goat with Rhubarb Dressing

It is said before we came to the world, each of us and  his partner were glued together back to back, and we won't stop feeling lonely until we find the other parts of ours. Because our partners and we couldn't see each other, so we can't recognized them, we can only let our heats to tell us we find the right person.
All the living creatures are looking for their partners, not only human being, like tomato and basil, I guess they were stick to each other on the back.They are good by themselves, but when they meet their partners, the reunion comforts their loneliness and makes them taste better than solely either of them.
I think the partners of strawberries are rhubarbs, they come in the same season, both in red color , after boiling rhubarbs, they show the similar texture as strawberries, rhubarbs are sour , which is the tartness of the taste of strawberries. That is why most of the strawberries recipes has rhubarbs in them.


So I made this strawberry salad with rhubarb dressing:
(it's more cream color instead of this peanut butter color :-/)

Method:
rhubarb , cut into half inch length(3 sticks, half pounds)
sugar: 1/2 cup
water(enough to cover rhubarb )
Boiling them together until it 's like syrup

Making vinaigrette
Dijon mustard 2Tbs
Apple cider vinegar : 1/4 cup
Olive oil: 1/3 cup-1/cup
rhubarb syrup

put them into  a blender to make vinaigrette
