A slaw recipe is the obvious first use for Kohlrabi, aka the German turnip. It is a vegetable in the cruciferous family, a close relative of cabbage. I have always loved vegetables and have tried a lot, but occasionally I run across something I have not tried before. This week at the farmer’s market I found purple kohlrabi. I have seen it before but had never tried this strange looking creature. This recipe I adapted from The Kitchn was a definite hit in my books!
This kohlrabi slaw has a sweet and tart flavor resembling the best coleslaw recipes.
