Happy week 3 of BaltimOrganic CSA!  
What in the world is Kohlrabi? I'll be honest, I have very little idea of what I'm doing with the honor of creating and sharing these CSA recipes!  I would say that we must have been drinking when Jon (our farmer), Gay, and I decided there should be a recipe to go with the weekly vegetable bag, but we don't actually drink (well, maybe just a tiny bit on occasion!) so I have no excuse expect that it seemed like a great idea! Maybe, like you, I'm learning as I go.  I like to think we are all in this together and if you have recipes you'd like to share, send them along through my contact page and I'll post them with your name (or without your name if you don't want to be held accountable:))

This week's recipe is, for me, a little leap of faith (a term i use sometimes when I'm teaching); it's my experience that leaps in the direction of self growth usually result in greatness.  

Serves about 4.

What you'll use from your bag:
  • Kohlrabi (2)
  • Kale (6-10 stems)
  • Amethyst Radish (5)
  • Snap Peas (~10)

What else you'll need:

  • Plain (non dairy) yogurt or Veganaise (1/2 Cup) (not vegan?, well, feel free to use non vegan versions) 
  •  Apple (1)
  • Lemon (2 Tbs.) + more for squeezing
  • Honey, Agave nectar, or pure maple syrup (1 Tbs. or less )
  • Dried Cranberries (2 Tbs.,optional)
  • Salt & Pepper

First, Prepare:
  • Peel outer skin & julienne cut (or shred with peeler) kohlrabi- set aside in medium bowl
  • Peel, core, & julienne cut the apple; squeeze a bit of lemon on it & put in the bowl w/Kohlrabi
  • Julienne cut the radishes- add to the bowl
  • Slice the snap peas in half length wise -add to the bowl (including the peas that came out when you sliced them)
  • Toss the veggies around gentle in the bowl until well combined
  • Break up the kale as you would for a salad. Then equally distribute the kale on plates, drizzle a little squeezed lemon & salt on top

Next: 
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt/veganaise, honey, lemon & a little salt and pepper
  • Stir the dressing into the veggie mixture and let sit for a bit- 10 minutes or so or put in the fridge for later.
  • Incorporate the dried cranberries (if using)
  • Serve on top the kale you prepared


And that's it! Prepare your food with love; it tastes better! :-)

Delicious! Even great just by itself (instead of over the kale). I used Greek yogurt and agave and it turned out excellent. Thanks for the recipe! These have all been great!
