This is a welcome side step on the usual potato salad. The local market garden growers set up shop each here in town each Wed and I enjoy buying from the Hutterites. They always have very fresh organic produce and this past Wed I grabbed some kolrabi. I found this recipe in the search for a worthy destiny for the veggies. I love this and the single thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is that it's very bland, I added some red pepper flakes and that made a huge difference in the zing factor. :D

I'd never cooked kohlrabi before... it always gets eaten right out of the garden, but I thought this would be a good first recipe to try. After steaming they seemed strangely waterlogged. It made the mix too bland so I added a LOT more mustard. It was enjoyable though.

This was great! I had a heck of a time finding kohlrabi in any markets in my area (New Haven CT) so had to wait until the kohlrabi in my garden was ready before I could try this! It was worth the wait - this is easy & tasty! Thanks!

This recipe is worth five stars if only for the suggestion to cook first, peel afterwards. I was massively tired when I got home, so I put the quartered kohlrabi into a bowl with a few tbl. of water and steamed in the microwave for about 8 minutes. I mixed together the sauce ingredients, and added just a little light cream to make it more pourable, instead of digging out the blender. This was so very very tasty. The next day I made another batch of the sauce, and used it as a spread on my turkey panini sandwiches - awesome! Thank you for a wonderful way to use an interesting vegetable.
