🔪Step-by-Step: Carpaccio in 4 Simple Layers
Shave Kohlrabi & Apple into Perfect Rounds
Lock the Geedel vegetable chopper onto your counter. Insert the slicing blade. Feed in peeled kohlrabi—one smooth crank per paper-thin, translucent round. Repeat with apples (no need to peel if you like color). The uniform slices stay crisp and look stunning.
Add Fluffy Parmesan Shavings
Switch to the fine shred blade. Feed in a block of Parmesan—4 quick cranks give you light, airy cheese ribbons that melt on the tongue. Scatter generously over the arranged slices.
Whisk the Quick Dressing
In a small bowl, mix olive oil + lemon juice + honey + salt + pepper. Drizzle lightly so every slice glistens.
Garnish & Serve
Add fresh mint leaves or chopped walnuts. Serve immediately while everything is ultra-crisp.
🍏Tips & Twists
Citrus Boost – Try lime instead of lemon.
Nutty Upgrade – Toasted pistachios or hazelnuts.
Vegan – Skip cheese or use nutritional yeast.
Make-Ahead – Shave kohlrabi & apples up to 2 hours ahead; keep in lemon water to stay bright.
