This week’s veggie box had a kohlrabi bulb - a new vegetable to me. After some Googling, I came across this salad recipe from ABC in Western Australia and thought I’d give it a try.
It was interesting and tasty and would be great in the summer. The ginger is a nice touch - it makes it feel less like coleslaw.
Boyfriendly rating: 4/5 “love the ginger”
You need:
1 large kohlrabi, finely grated
1 apple, grated
1 clove of garlic
2 small carrots, finely grated
1/2 red onion, cut in cubes
1 tablespoon of grated ginger (I used candied ginger)
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of toasted cashew nuts (I didn’t toast the nuts!)
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons of flaxseed oil
Mix the vinegar, salt and pepper in a salad bowl and whisk in the oil slowly. Add the vegetables, toss and decorate with the toasted cashews.
Hey Lana. Nice-looking blog. I look forward to your recipes as you like simple and tasty recipes. One question - how do you identify vegetables such as kohlrabi if you’ve never seen it before??
Oops. I knew I was getting a kohlrabi in my weekly veggie basket, so I knew what it was going to look like. If you’ve never seen a kohlrabi before - have a look.
Hee. I love those little apple bowls. I have two at home
I used to make a very bad pun out of Kolirabi (which we grew on our farm when I was little) and my first boyfriend Rob.
This salad looks tasty!
Yeah, I can see how being compared to a green tuber might not be super romantic!
