Kohlrabi


Kohlrabi is a member of the brassica family ( broccoli, cabbage...) In my opinion it tasted like a mixture of apples and cabbage. You can cook the greens as well. Peel the skin before using.

Grate Kholrabi to make ( or add to) cole slaw ( brassicas are also called COLE crops, hence the name) or just eat it raw in a salad or with a little bit of salt.

It can also be cooked. Roasted in the oven or steamed it becomes very sweet.

Best dressing for beet salad or kohlrabi salad

1 cup yogurt (homemade is best) - new gaget from the Holiday; small onion diced; pinch of salt; 1/4 t dried mustard; 2 TBS Vinegar; minced garlic clove - or those garlic things you gave us; 1 tsp of dill seeds. Mix all together and pour over the salad ingred - chill. Mmmmm - this was my hit this 4th. Confessions I got this from Recipes for a small planet....
