Kohlrabi Slaw
Kohlrabi Slaw combines grated kohlrabi, carrots, finely sliced red onion, and shredded red cabbage tossed in a tangy dressing of olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. The salad delivers a crisp and refreshing texture with a balance of sweet and acidic flavors, making it a lively side dish. The slaw benefits from refrigeration before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly while retaining crunch.
