Categories     Salad     Fruit     Mustard     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Apple     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon coarse-grained mustard
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 bunches kohlrabi (about 2 pounds), bulbs peeled and cut into julienne strips, stems discarded, and the leaves reserved for another use
1 Granny Smith apple

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk the cream until it holds soft peaks and whisk in the lemon juice, the mustard, the parsley, the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the kohlrabi strips and the apple, peeled, cored, and diced, and combine the salad well.

Tips:

  • Choose small kohlrabi bulbs. They are more tender and have a sweeter flavor than larger bulbs.
  • Peel the kohlrabi before using it. The skin is tough and inedible.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the kohlrabi. This will help to prevent the kohlrabi from becoming bruised or damaged.
  • Soak the kohlrabi in cold water for 15 minutes before using it. This will help to remove any bitterness from the kohlrabi.
  • Add a variety of other vegetables and fruits to your kohlrabi salad. Some good options include apples, carrots, celery, and radishes.
  • Dress the kohlrabi salad with a simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing. A vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a good option, as is a creamy dressing made with yogurt, mayonnaise, and herbs.
  • Serve the kohlrabi salad immediately or chill it for later. Kohlrabi salad is a great make-ahead dish, as it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Kohlrabi is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, soups, and stir-fries. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it has a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Kohlrabi and apple salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover kohlrabi.
