Kohlrabi and Radish Salad

A crunchy, raw and refreshing slaw.

 1 small bulb kohlrabi, end trimmed and outer layer peeled
 4-5 small radishes, end removed and sliced thinly.
 2 spring or green bunching onions
 Juice from half a lime or lemon
 1 tbsp apple cider or white wine vinegar
 1 tbsp sunflower or olive oil
 1 tsp sugar
 Pinch of salt
 2 tbsp minced fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, rosemary, mint or basil)

1

Trim off the ends and peel the thick outer skin from your kohlrabi. Shred or cut into matchsticks. A julienne peeler makes quick work.

2

Remove the ends of the radishes and then slice them thinly, and do the same for the onions.

3

Place kohlrabi, radishes and onions in a bowl and add lemon or lime juice, vinegar, sunflower/olive oil, sugar and a pinch of sea salt.

4

Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Taste to adjust seasoning, stir in herbs, and serve.

    I received kohlrabi in my CSA share and wasn’t sure what to do with it besides for breading and frying it. I then stumbled across your recipe, which was perfect as I had some radishes that needed to be eaten, too. It was delicious and refreshing. Thanks for sharing!

      So glad you liked it, Mara! Another fresh and crispy rather than fried trick: peel and then cut it into sticks to enjoy like carrots or celery with a little dip or hummus.

    Tastes great after melding in fridge for at least 3 days

    I used fresh lemon juice, grapeseed oil, and a pinch of cayenne. It really enhances the flavours. Thanks for the great idea!
