Kohlrabi Khol-Slaw With Apples

Submitted by SewandXit

"A friend of mine makes a coleslaw with shredded bagged coleslaw mix, which is similar to this. Using the kohlrabi makes a little crisper slaw, but it is just as enjoyable."

We had never had kohlrabi before, but I got some in a CSA box so looked for a way to prepare it that would be similar to something that we already enjoy. This recipe was just the ticket! We all love coleslaw and personally I actually liked the kohlrabi better than cabbage - juicier and better flavored. It probably would have been crisper too, if I had done julienne by hand or even with a food processor, but I used a shredder for ease of preparation. I did cut down the sugar quite a bit - a personal preference. I think the family would have also liked a sweeter slaw.
