Equipment

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 medium kohlrabi peeled and julienned
  • 2 carrots peeled and julienned
  • 1 small cucumber thinly sliced or julienned
  • 4-5 radishes
  • 6-7 radish leaves washed well, dried, chopped

For the Garlic–Citrus Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice from fresh lime
  • 1 clove garlic finely grated or crushed
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Julienne or thinly slice kohlrabi, carrot, cucumber, and radishes. Roughly chop radish leaves.
    1 medium kohlrabi, 2 carrots, 1 small cucumber, 4-5 radishes, 6-7 radish leaves
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1 clove garlic, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Combine all vegetables in a large bowl. Pour dressing over and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add more lime juice or salt if needed.

Notes

  • If you're prepping ahead, store the sliced veggies in cold water for up to a few hours, then drain and pat dry before tossing with the dressing.
  • Dress just before serving: The acid in the dressing will slightly soften the vegetables over time. For maximum crunch, combine the dressing and the salad just before eating.
  • Add more lemon juice or vinegar for extra tang, or a drizzle of maple syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness.
