Print Recipe

A quick, crunchy, and tangy slaw combining fresh kohlrabi, crisp apples, and a bright zesty dressing. Perfect as a refreshing side or light meal addition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and julienned
  • 1 large crisp apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), julienned
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds
  • Optional: 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Peel and julienne the kohlrabi into thin matchsticks about 2 to 3 inches long (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Core and julienne the apple into similar-sized matchsticks; toss with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Grate the carrot and thinly slice the red cabbage (about 3 minutes).
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly thickened (1-2 minutes).
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine kohlrabi, apple, carrot, cabbage, parsley, and if using, green onion and toasted sunflower seeds.
  6. Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss well until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Let the slaw rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors and soften the veggies slightly, then serve fresh.

Notes

Peel kohlrabi to avoid tough fibrous skin. Julienne all veggies for balanced texture. Whisk dressing well to emulsify. Toast seeds for extra flavor. Prepare veggies ahead but toss with dressing just before serving to keep slaw crisp.
