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.

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
