Kohlrabi-Broccoli Slaw

Kohlrabi-Broccoli SlawThis kohlrabi-broccoli slaw is by far one of my favorite side dishes. In fact I love it so much it’s hard not to eat it all in one serving! Though sadly ;)… I do have to share it with my children as they really enjoy it as well.

Have you ever tried Kohlrabi before?
Kohlrabi, aka “German Turnip”, is a nutrient-rich vegetable in the brassica family (along with kale, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.). Kohlrabi can be eaten both raw and cooked (i.e. steamed, stir-fried), just be sure to peel it first as the outer skin layer can be quite tough and fibrous. It tastes similar to cabbage with a broccoli-esque flavor. When purchasing this unique, but forgotten vegetable, try to look for the smaller, more tender ones if possible.
