Ingredients
Scale
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 to create a balanced, tangy, and slightly sweet dressing.
- Combine Slaw Ingredients: Add the matchstick-cut apple, peeled and matchstick-cut kohlrabi, thinly sliced red onion, toasted chopped hazelnuts, and finely chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Season and Garnish: Taste the slaw and adjust seasoning with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh and vibrant presentation before serving immediately.
Notes
- To toast hazelnuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- For a vegan option, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Use hazelnut oil instead of olive oil for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
- This slaw is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crunchiness of the kohlrabi and apple.
- Can be served as a side dish for barbecues, light lunches, or as a topping for sandwiches.
