5 Ingredient Kohlrabi & Cabbage Summer Slaw

kohlrabi and cabbage slaw-2

Sometimes I forget how much I like coleslaw until my husband suggests that I make it.  Then I make it because he requested it and realize that slaw is actually delicious.  I’ve been making it fairly regularly this summer, tweaking the ingredients and the methods based on what I have on hand.

kohlrabi

Kohlrabi is a CSA item that I still don’t really know what to do with, despite routinely picking it up from the farm for the past 5 or so years.  We eat more of it in the fall and winter, when I tend to roast it with root vegetables or add it to a soup.  I was excited to discover that it makes an awesome addition to this slaw.  Kohlrabi is now officially part of our summer menu.

This Kohlrabi and Cabbage Slaw is embarrassingly easy to put together which makes me even more inclined to make it as a quick side for a meal.  I use my food processor to shred both the cabbage and the kohlrabi.  The cabbage shreds best using a slicing disc, but the kohlrabi works great with a shredding disc.  Then the vegetables go into a bowl, get mixed with mayonnaise and 2 kinds of mustard and served and enjoyed.  We’ve enjoyed this slaw immediately after making it and after a day or two of refrigeration.  In either case, it was delicious.

Print Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound kohlrabi about 1/2 a medium kohlrabi, peeled
  • 1/2 pound cabbage about 1/2 a small head of cabbage, cored
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Use a food processor to prep your kohlrabi and cabbage. Use a shredding disc for the kohlrabi and a slicing disc for the cabbage. (Alternatively, you can grate the kohlrabi on a manual grater and thinly slice the cabbage, but the texture will be somewhat different.)
  • Place the kohlrabi and cabbage in a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise and both kinds of mustard. Mix well, using a fork to help separate the pieces of vegetable and spread out the mayonnaise and mustard.
  • Serve and enjoy, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
