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 minutes 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.

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
