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 and emulsified.
- Add the vegetables and fruits: 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 the slaw: Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Season and garnish: Season the slaw to taste with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with extra chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a crisp, fresh side dish to complement any meal.
Notes
- You can substitute hazelnut oil for extra-virgin olive oil to add a nuttier flavor.
- To prevent the apple and kohlrabi from browning, toss them in the dressing immediately after cutting.
- For added crunch and variation, try incorporating shredded carrots or celery.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the slaw is best eaten fresh.
- To toast hazelnuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and stir frequently until golden and fragrant, about 3–5 minutes.
