Ingredients

  • 4 or 5 small kohlrabies, about 1 lb.
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 5 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. finely chopped tarragon
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley or chervil
  • 1 Tbsp. slivered chives, plus more for garnish
  • Ground pepper

Directions

  1. If kohlrabi are young and tender, you don’t need to peel them. If older and less tender, slice off skins. Cut kohlrabi into fine julienne. An effective way to do this is to slice them thinly on a mandoline, then stack slices and cut into matchsticks.
  2. For the dressing, peel and slice avocado. Combine with oil, vinegar, sour cream and 1/2 tsp. salt in a food processor; puree until smooth. Stir in tarragon, parsley and chives; taste for saltiness and season with pepper to taste. Toss kohlrabi matchsticks with just enough dressing to coat well. Garnish with chives.
