Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or hazelnut oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Slaw
- 1 large apple, cored and cut into matchsticks
- 1 medium kohlrabi, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup toasted chopped hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil (or hazelnut oil), apple cider vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, and fine sea salt until well combined.
- Add the vegetables and fruit: To the bowl with the dressing, add the matchstick-cut apple, peeled and matchstick-cut kohlrabi, thinly sliced red onion, toasted chopped hazelnuts, and finely chopped parsley.
- Toss to coat: Gently toss all the ingredients together so the slaw is evenly coated with the dressing and the flavors meld.
- Season and serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- This slaw is best served fresh to maintain the crisp texture of the kohlrabi and apple.
- For a nuttier flavor, use hazelnut oil as the dressing oil.
- Can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but toss again before serving to redistribute dressing.
- To toast hazelnuts, heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, about 3-5 minutes.
