Kohlrabi & Fennel Salad Recipe
This is one of my favorite types of salads to make with either kohlrabi or celery root. It’s worth the time it takes to julienne the kohlrabi. I made a similar salad at a chefs contest and it was one of the recipes that wowed everyone and I won. I hope you enjoy!

- 1 Bunch of Kohlrabi
- 1 Head of Fennel (small to medium size)

Instructions
- Cut the end of the kohlrabi bulbs and slice off the skin, then julienne the whole bulbs. You can slice them into matchsticks or use a mandoline with the julienne setting.
- Place it all in a large bowl. Add pumpkin seed oil and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and massage the kohlrabi. Then add juice of one lemon. Sprinkle a little more salt until you enjoy the flavor.
- Place a little frisée on each plate if you like, then add the kohlrabi on top.
- Slice the fennel into thin round pieces. On its own massage with oil and salt. Add some lemon, and place fennel on top of the salad.
- Add any other greens you like to the plate. Then sprinkle with sweet pepper flakes and black sesame seeds. Or use chili flakes.
