Apple Kohlrabi Slaw

Save and share!

If you have never had kohlrabi before, it is a member of the cabbage family, although it looks closer to a turnip. Kohlrabi has a sweet and slightly peppery flavor, and is nice and crisp. It kind of reminds me of a sweet radish, you can eat it raw or cooked.

It combines great with the sweet and tart apples to make a lovely crisp salad

Toast the pistachios

2. Add the pistachios and the cilantro to the bowl. 
3. Toss well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
