Good Eats: Superfood Kohlrabi Salad Recipe
Love exotic veggies? Then Kohlrabi, a trendy cabbage-cum-superfood bulb vegetable, might be a perfect fit for your culinary arsenal this summer.
Of German origins, the refreshingly light kohlrabi can be shredded raw for slaws and salads, juiced, roasted, pickled, baked, or stir fried. With a taste similar to—but a bit sweeter and milder—its turnip cousin, kohlrabi complements many recipes.
This bodacious bulb also packs a nutritional punch. Kohlrabi boasts more vitamin C than cauliflower, strawberries, melon, and even orange juice. It’s also high in fiber, replenishing water content, and potassium, which is excellent for post-workout recovery.
Here, Oakland’s delicious A16 Rockridge eatery shares its recipe Southern Italy-inspired Kohlrabi Salad. Grab a kohlrabi from your local market or farmer’s market—it’s available in stores year-round but it’s in season all summer peaking in October—and you’re off and slicing.
