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 fully combined and emulsified, creating a smooth tangy dressing.
- Add the vegetables and nuts: To the bowl with the dressing, add the matchstick-cut apple, peeled and matchstick-cut kohlrabi, thinly sliced red onion, toasted chopped hazelnuts, and finely chopped parsley. Toss everything gently to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
- Season and garnish: Taste the slaw and season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Garnish with extra chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.
Notes
- Use hazelnut oil to enhance the nutty flavor profile if you prefer over olive oil.
- Peeling the kohlrabi is essential to avoid bitterness from the outer skin.
- Toast the hazelnuts lightly in a dry pan to release their oils and deepen their flavor before chopping.
- For added crunch, you can refrigerate the slaw for 15-30 minutes before serving.
- This slaw pairs well with grilled meats or as a fresh side to sandwiches.
- To keep the apple slices from browning, toss them immediately in the dressing.
