Kohlrabi & Apple Slaw
Have you ever heard of kohlrabi before? This year I decided to grow it in my garden! I had no clue what it would taste like but turns out- it’s delicious! This easy to make kohlrabi slaw is packed with flavor from the apple, chili, cilantro, and lime vinaigrette. It’s the perfect light side dish for Summer.
Ingredients
1 purple (or green) kohlrabi, leaves removed, sliced, and cut into matchsticks
1 apple, sliced and then cut into matchsticks

Salt
Pepper
