TODAY'S VEGETABLE RECIPE INSPIRATION Gourmet October 1992

ALANNA's TIPS & KITCHEN NOTES
2008: The inspiring recipe called for a tart Granny Smith. I used sweeter apples and liked it fine - but tart would be good, too. 2010: I used a Granny Smith apple, the tartness is excellent.
Once grated, the apple begins to brown instantly so move it straight into the dressing and toss right away.
That said, once the apple/kohlrabi were in the salad, it didn't turn brown for a couple of hours (if it would have stayed white longer, I don't know, it didn't last!)
2008: NEXT TIME For a less rustic presentation, I will get out the Benriner and use the medium blade. It would also be pretty with just a spoonful or two tucked into a pocket of Boston lettuce.

Ingredients

• DRESSING
• 1/4 cup cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tablespoon good mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Salt & pepper to taste - go easy here
• Fresh mint, chopped
• 1 pound fresh kohlrabi, trimmed, peeled, grated or cut into batons with a Benriner
• 2 apples, peeled, grated or cut into batons (try to keep equivalent volumes of kohlrabi:apple)

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk cream into light pillows - this takes a minute or so, no need to get out a mixer. Stir in remaining dressing ingredients, the kohlrabi and apple. Serve immediately.
