Kohlrabi Salad with Cilantro and Lime

Ingredients

6 cups kohlrabi, cut into matchsticks (or grated in a food processor - about three x 4 inch bulbs )

½ cup chopped cilantro (one small bunch)

half of a jalapeno, minced

¼ cup chopped scallion

orange zest from one orange, and juice

Citrus Dressing

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup fresh orange juice (juice from one orange)

1/8 cup lime juice plus 1 T (juice from one large lime), more to taste

¼ cup honey (or agave syrup)

½ tsp kosher salt

1 T rice wine vinegar

Instructions

1. Trim and peel kohlrabi. Cut off two ends. Cut in half from top to bottom. Thinly slice, rotate and slice again, making ¼ inch matchsticks.
2. Place in large bowl with chopped cilantro, scallions, finely chopped jalapeño (1/2), lime zest and orange zest.
3. Whisk dressing together in a small bowl. Toss with salad. Refrigerate until serving. Garnish with zest and cilantro. This tastes good the next day too.

You could substitute sliced fennel, apple, jicama, cucumber, or cabbage for part of the kohlrabi for more diversity. Serve with grilled fish, pan-seared salmon cakes or even inside fish tacos!
