It’s taken me years to make friends with this funky vegetable. It’s soooo good for you, though. Before this recipe (which finally makes eating raw kohlrabi exciting for me!), I could easily chop the greens into my throw-everything-together stew and all I could think of to do with the bulb was slice and roast it with olive oil, salt and pepper (which is pretty tasty, by the way). But this! I hear raw olive oil is way better for you than cooking with it. And I can finally enjoy the raw crunchiness of the kohlrabi in all its healthy glory. I hope you do, too!
Ingredients:
1 Kohlrabi
1 Apple
1/2 lemon or lime
Olive Oil
Trader Joe’s Dukkah Nut and Spice Blend (Almonds, Sesame Seeds, Fennel Seeds, Coriander, Anise Seeds, Salt)
Microgreens (we’re trying a Kale and lemony Sorrel mix this week, but any mild mix would work!)
Instructions:
1. Use a knife to remove the thick peel, then thinly slice the kohlrabi bulb. Think half-moon shapes.
2. Thinly slice apple. Half-moon again.
3. Toss kohlrabi and apple together with a squeeze of lemon or lime, drizzle with olive oil and generously sprinkle with Dukkah nut and spice blend.
4. Top with microgreens.
