Makes: 2 Servings
Preparation: 15 mns
Total Time: 25mns


Benefits
Kohlrabi is part of the cabbage family and boasts a huge amount of nutrients for very few calories. It is particularly high in Vitamin C and Potassium and B vitamins, making it a great energy booster and overall wonderful addition to your diet.

Ingredients 
1 head kohlrabi
1/2 apple, such as Gala
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 bird's eye chili
1 pinch cumin
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions
  1. With a sharp knife, cut off the “branches” of the kohlrabi. Peel it with a vegetable peeler.
  2. Cut the kohlrabi into matchsticks either using a sharp knife or a mandolin (I used the latter). Do the same with the apple.
  3. Toss the kohlrabi and the apple with the remaining ingredients and chill before eating.
