Ingredients
- 1 Medium kohlrabi white or purple
Dressing
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- ⅛ Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard *see Notes
- 1 Tablespoon vinegar *see Notes
- 2 Tablespoon oil *see Notes
Topping
- 1-2 Tablespoon chives fresh, *see Notes
Instructions
Kohlrabi Prepping
- Take off the stems and leaves from your kohlrabi and discard. Peel Kohlrabi and remove the tough or bad parts.
- Cut kohlrabi into larger but manageable chunks and place them into a food processor. You can also choose to grate a whole kohlrabi bulb with a manual box grater.
- Grind/Shred the Kohlrabi to the desired size and place into a mixing bowl. Keep aside.
Dressing
- In a small mixing bowl, add the salt, black pepper, mustard paste and vinegar.
- Combine first these 4 dressing ingredients. Once they are mixed, pour in the oil. We add the oil at the end because it's easier to mix in the seasoning in without the oil at first.
- Whisk oil into the other dressing ingredients at last. The result should be a smooth, well combined vinaigrette.
Put Together Salad
- Chop fresh clean chives or cut them with a herb scissor. Add chives to the kohlrabi in the bowl. If your chives have flowers, cut the flowers too.
- Pour the vinaigrette dressing over the kohlrabi in the bowl.
- Combine everything well and serve up as a small side dish salad at room temperature or cooled.

Notes
- Dijon mustard not only adds flavor but binds all the ingredients together. I don't recommend skipping it, but if you can't get Dijon mustard, leave it out.
- This recipe can be prepared with a white or a purple kohlrabi.
- I like to use neutral flavored vinegar such as white wine vinegar or also apple cider vinegar. You can use your favorite vinegar or even herb infused DIY vinegar or synthetic vinegar, if that is what you have in your kitchen. You can choose to substitute vinegar with lemon juice too.
- Common oil can be used to make this dressing, I tend to make my vinaigrette dressing in sunflower oil, canola oil or vegetable oil. You can also use extra virgin olive oil.
- Dijon mustard not only adds flavor but binds all the ingredients together. I don't recommend skipping it, but if you can't get Dijon mustard, leave it out.
- If you want to avoid preparing a dressing for every salad, you can also prep a small bottle of vinaigrette dressing. This homemade French dressing keeps well for at least 2 weeks in your fridge.
- Use fresh chives as a topping. I recommend growing your set of chives in your kitchen. They don't take up much space. This is because homegrown chives come with pink and purple flowers and those flowers really taste fantastic in this salad and add a lot of color to the dish.
