Kohlrabi & Apple Slaw: Crisp, Sweet, Insanely Refreshing
Imagine the snap of raw kohlrabi meeting juicy paper-thin apple slices, all wrapped in a bright lemon-honey dressing. This slaw is the love child of coleslaw and Waldorf salad: crunchy, lightly sweet, a little peppery, and stupidly addictive. It’s the side that steals the show at BBQs, pairs perfectly with pork chops, or just disappears straight from the fridge at midnight.
The secret? Delicate, uniform shreds and slices that soak up dressing without ever going soggy. A quick spin with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater turns kohlrabi into ribbons and apples into perfect translucent slices faster than you can say 'where’s the serving spoon?'
🛒Ingredients (Serves 4–6 as a side)
2 medium kohlrabi, peeled
2 crisp apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) – do not core yet
1 small carrot (optional, for color)
¼ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Optional add-ins: toasted pecans, dried cranberries, fresh dill
🍳Step-by-Step: Slaw in a Few Easy Cranks
1. Shred & Slice the Stars
Lock the crank cheese grater with its suction base.
Coarse shred blade: Feed kohlrabi and carrot (if using) → beautiful ribbons.
Slicing blade: Switch and run whole apples through → gorgeous, super-thin apple slices (core pops out automatically).
2. Toss It Together
Combine kohlrabi ribbons and apple slices in a big bowl. The mix of textures is what makes this slaw sing.
3. Make the Dressing
Whisk mayo (or yogurt), lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper until silky. Taste and adjust.
4. Dress & Rest
Pour dressing over the slaw and toss gently. Let it chill in the fridge—the flavors marry very friendly, and the crunch stays loud.
5. Serve Your Masterpiece
Pile high, scatter pecans or cranberries if you like, and watch it disappear.
✨Tips & Twists
Creamier: Swap half the mayo for sour cream
Fancy: Add crumbled blue cheese
Asian twist: Rice vinegar + sesame oil + chili flakes
Make-ahead: Slice and shred with Geedel up to one day ahead; dress just before serving
🥗Final Bite
This Kohlrabi & Apple Slaw is proof that the simplest ingredients, cut just right, can taste like pure magic. One rotary grater, a couple of effortless cranks, and you’ve got the crunchiest, freshest side of the season.
