CSA Challenge: Kohlrabi Slaw with Avocado Dressing

Kohlrabi was described to me as radish-like, but I think it’s much tastier!

Prep: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 or 5 small kohlrabies, about 1 pound
• ½ avocado
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup sour cream or yogurt
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1½ tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley or chervil
• 1 tablespoon slivered chives, plus more for garnish
• Freshly ground pepper

Directions

Prep the kohlrabi:

1. If kohlrabies are young and tender, you don’t need to peel them. If older and less than tender, slice off skins.
2. Cut kohlrabies into fine julienne. (Use a mandolin if you have one.)

Make the dressing:

1. Peel and slice avocado.
2. Combine with oil, vinegar, sour cream and ½ teaspoon salt in a food processor; puree until smooth.
3. Stir in tarragon, parsley and chives; taste for salt and season with pepper.
4. Toss kohlrabi matchsticks with just enough dressing to coat well.
5. Garnish with chives.
