Raw Kohlrabi Salad

Kohlrabi is one of my favorite vegetables. Eaten raw, it is refreshing with the same crunch as an apple and a mild, crisp, easy to love taste. It is low in calories and rich in vitamins and dietary fiber. To prepare the bulb to eat: cut off the greens and stems (save for smoothies or saute!) and peel the outer layer (purple or green) off. The outside layer is tough but the inside of the bulb is white and tender.

This salad is yummy and refreshing and super quick to throw together. Use a mandolin to julienne the Kohlrabi and apple if you have one.
