As BBQ season approaches, we have added some delicious bulbs of kohlrabi to this week’s boxes. High in vitamin C and vitamin B6, Kohlrabi makes a delicious addition to a traditional grated carrot salad, popular in parts of France. The traditional salad has been adapted into a homemade coleslaw which we have attached below. |

1 bulb kohlrabi 2 carrots 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp cider vinegar 1 tsp whole-grain mustard or Dijon-style mustard (Try Cumberland Honey Mustard which you can find on our website) 1/2 tsp fine sea salt A generous amount of freshly ground black pepper |
Method: - Trim and peel the kohlrabi and carrots. You may find it easier to use a paring knife to trim and peel the kohlrabi.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper until well blended.
- Grate the kohlrabi and carrots into the bowl, using the larger holes on your grater.
- Toss everything together until the kohlrabi and carrot are evenly coated with the dressing. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
