KOHLRABI SALAD

Kohlrabi Salad with Heirloom Beets & Kohlrabi Greens is fresh and tricks me into thinking spring is around the corner. BTW, IMO kohlrabi rocks raw, not cooked.

The WHY of Kohlrabi: Correct pronunciation: coal-ROB-ee.

It’s delicious and one of the top vitamin C foods, with more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin C needs in just one cup!

The taste of kohlrabi is similar to a broccoli stem (though milder and sweeter), a mild radish, and jicama.

The leaves have a taste akin to collard greens, but less “green.”. It’s loaded with phytochemicals that help prevent damage to the cells of our bodies and boost our overall health.

Oh, you’ve got this! Now we just need Spring to show up! 💕
