Ingredients
Scale
For the Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or hazelnut oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
For the Slaw
- 1 large apple, cored and cut into matchsticks
- 1 medium kohlrabi, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup toasted chopped hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil or hazelnut oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, and fine sea salt until the ingredients are fully combined and the dressing is smooth.
- Assemble the Slaw: Add the matchstick-cut apple, peeled and matchstick-cut kohlrabi, thinly sliced red onion, toasted chopped hazelnuts, and finely chopped parsley into the bowl with the dressing.
- Toss and Season: Toss all the slaw ingredients gently but thoroughly to coat them evenly with the dressing.
- Final Touches: Taste the slaw and adjust seasoning with additional sea salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Garnish with extra parsley before serving to add a burst of fresh color and flavor.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, use hazelnut oil instead of olive oil.
- To prepare hazelnuts, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, then chop.
- Matchstick-cut vegetables and apples create the perfect texture and presentation.
- Serve the slaw chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.
- Optional: Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
