Fennel-Apple Salad With Walnuts image

A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.

KOHLRABI, FENNEL & APPLE SALAD



KOHLRABI, FENNEL & APPLE SALAD image

Categories     Salad

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bulb of kohlrabi, peeled and sliced into thin strips
1 green apple, peeled and sliced into thin strips
1 fennel bulb, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons local wildflower honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
zest & juice of a 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup toasted walnuts
a handful of soft cheese, cubed - mine was made locally from cow's milk with a sweet, sharp flavor. Goat cheese or blue cheese would be tasty, too.

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the kohlrabi, then the apples, and set them aside. 2. Zest the lemon, juice it, and mix both with the honey & oil for the Honey-Lemon Dressing. 3. When ready to eat, toss the Honey-Lemon Dressing, walnuts, cheese, and fennel seeds, and you can eat right away. Other notes: If the dressing seeps in for 5-10 minutes, the kohlrabi will soften and taste even better. For a variation, try it with pears instead of apples. That was the combination I had in mind, but I did not have any pears in my kitchen today.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a mandoline to thinly slice the fennel, apple, and kohlrabi.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the vegetables.
  • Be sure to remove the core from the apple before slicing.
  • Use a sturdy knife to chop the walnuts.
  • For a milder flavor, use less mustard in the dressing.
  • For a tangier flavor, use more mustard in the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This fennel, apple, and kohlrabi salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table.
