Ever tried kohlrabi? This distant cousin of cabbage has a similar taste to that of broccoli stems, with the crunch of water chestnuts. It can be enjoyed raw or cooked, and is perfect in a simple salad or slaw like this one. Simply toss together the peeled, thinly sliced kohlrabi with some thinly sliced radishes and some toasted walnuts; then, all of these crunchy ingredients are combined with a light walnut-lemon vinaigrette and some sliced fresh chives for a bit of a peppery bite. Another easy way to prepare kohlrabi is to dice it, toss it with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and perhaps some fresh herbs or za’atar for a low-carb alternative to roasted, cubed potatoes.
