Respect the 'barb: Rhubarb salsa

Since rhubarb is a vegetable, I decided to make a savory salsa for my chicken and fish dishes this week. Now the recipes says it serves 2 generously. I ended up getting two mason jars of salsa and shared one with a friend. It was amazing on top of my grilled chicken and amazing in my fish tacos.

3-4 medium stalks of rhubarb, sliced (about 2 cups)

Set a small pot of water to boil.
Drop the sliced rhubarb in the boiling water and boil for ONLY ONE MINUTE!
Immediately transfer the rhubarb to a strainer and then to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
