WARM KOHLRABI SALAD

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds kohlrabi, peeled and quartered (about 4 kohlrabi)
4 medium carrots
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 quart cherry tomatoes (multi-color if available)
4 scallions, sliced thin
2 packed cups parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Shred the kohlrabi, carrots and garlic in a food processor fitted with the shredder attachment.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the tomatoes, followed by the shredded vegetables. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and then add the scallions, parsley and lemon juice, stirring until incorporated. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose young kohlrabi: Younger kohlrabis are more tender and have a milder flavor compared to older ones.
  • Peel the kohlrabi thinly: This will help retain the kohlrabi's nutrients and prevent it from becoming too fibrous.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the kohlrabi into thin, even slices.
  • Add some acidity: The acidity from lemon juice or vinegar helps to balance the sweetness of the kohlrabi and adds a refreshing touch.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper is all you need to let the flavor of the kohlrabi shine through.
