Kohlrabi Slaw
This Kohlrabi Slaw is full of vibrant flavors and textures, making it a delightful addition to any table. The kohlrabi provides a crisp bite, while the other ingredients contribute freshness and zest.
Ingredients:
- 1 large kohlrabi, peeled and julienned
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1/4 purple cabbage, finely shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing your kohlrabi. Peel it and cut it into thin slices, then julienne those slices into matchstick-sized pieces. If you have a mandoline slicer, it can make this task much easier.
- Next, grate the carrots. You can use a box grater or the food processor for this step too.
- Finely shred the purple cabbage and chop the fresh cilantro. Slice green onions into thin rings.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the kohlrabi, carrots, cabbage, cilantro, and green onions. Give it a gentle toss to mix the ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup if you’re using it. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Ensure that the dressing evenly covers all the vegetables.
- Allow the slaw to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will give the flavors a chance to meld together and the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your vibrant Kohlrabi Slaw as a healthy side dish or topping for your favorite sandwiches!
