I made a variation of this as I had avocados and kohlrabi which both needed to be used up but no feta cheese or lime juice. Instead I used lemon juice and shaved in some parmesan towards the end -- a very nice combination and I'm sure the feta/lime mixture would be equally good. I do think 3 kohlrabi bulbs would be a bit much though. I had one with 2 avocados and it was plenty, both in terms of a ratio in the salad and also in terms of how much it made it total. We had enough for 4 appetiser servings. If you wanted a meal-sized portion you would have to add more but I personally would also increase the amount of avocado. -
I made a smaller version of this salad, but I thought it was wonderful - crunchy and creamy, with a kick of lime. I did reduce all the ingredients, and the olive oil and lime juice a bit more than the others. (I didn't use the garlic powder, as I don't like it in uncooked dishes, but the salad was great without it.) It seemed like an odd combination of flavors when reading the recipe, but when I actually tasted it, all the flavors work together very well. -
The idea of this salad seemed great but I do not care for it at all. I love all fresh vegetables I have ever tasted but this combo did not please me.

This is a yummy dish, but the dressing is too oily for me. I ended up taking away two tablespoons of the olive oil and added a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. -
Very good salad. I think the kohlrabi I used was on the small side, so the amount of dressing indicated was a bit much. However, it was very good with the vegetables.

<p>It's simply this: I love to cook! :) <br /><br />I've been hanging out on the internet since the early days and have collected loads of recipes. I've tried to keep the best of them (and often the more unusual) and look forward to sharing them with you, here. <br /><br />I am proud to say that I have several family members who are also on RecipeZaar! <br /><br />My husband, here as <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857>Steingrim</a>, is an excellent cook. He rarely uses recipes, though, so often after he's made dinner I sit down at the computer and talk him through how he made the dishes so that I can get it down on paper. Some of these recipes are in his account, some of them in mine - he rarely uses his account, though, so we'll probably usually post them to mine in the future. <br /><br />My sister <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/65957>Cathy is here as cxstitcher</a> and <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/62727>my mom is Juliesmom</a> - say hi to them, eh? <br /><br />Our <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/379862>friend Darrell is here as Uncle Dobo</a>, too! I've been typing in his recipes for him and entering them on R'Zaar. We're hoping that his sisters will soon show up with their own accounts, as well. :) <br /><br />I collect cookbooks (to slow myself down I've limited myself to purchasing them at thrift stores, although I occasionally buy an especially good one at full price), and - yes, I admit it - I love FoodTV. My favorite chefs on the Food Network are Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, and Giada De Laurentiis. I'm not fond over fakey, over-enthusiastic performance chefs... Emeril drives me up the wall. I appreciate honesty. Of non-celebrity chefs, I've gotta say that that the greatest influences on my cooking have been my mother, Julia Child, and my cooking instructor Chef Gabriel Claycamp at Seattle's Culinary Communion. <br /><br />In the last couple of years I've been typing up all the recipes my grandparents and my mother collected over the years, and am posting them here. Some of them are quite nostalgic and are higher in fat and processed ingredients than recipes I normally collect, but it's really neat to see the different kinds of foods they were interested in... to see them either typewritten oh-so-carefully by my grandfather, in my grandmother's spidery handwriting, or - in some cases - written by my mother years ago in fountain pen ink. It's like time travel. <br /><br />Cooking peeve: food/cooking snobbery. <br /><br />Regarding my black and white icon (which may or may not be the one I'm currently using): it the sea-dragon tattoo that is on the inside of my right ankle. It's also my personal logo.</p>
