Kohlrabi Slaw
Description
This slaw highlights fresh, crunchy kohlrabi prepared in matchsticks for texture alongside shredded red cabbage and carrots. The addition of diced apple adds a touch of natural sweetness that contrasts with the sharpness of the cabbage, while mixed seeds provide a nutty bite. Scallions contribute a mild onion flavor and color.
The dressing blends mayonnaise with apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard for tartness and creaminess, seasoned with salt, pepper, and optional sugar to balance acidity. The salad is gently tossed with a portion of dressing and can be adjusted to taste, maintaining texture without over-saturating.
Peeling and matching cut the kohlrabi ensures a tender but distinct crunch. Choosing firm, blemish-free kohlrabi is key for freshness. The dressing can be prepared in advance and chilled to develop flavor and save time. This slaw pairs well as a side dish to various meals, offering a crisp, refreshing component.
