Kohl-slaw (Coleslaw made from Kohlrabi)

Kohl-slaw (Coleslaw made from Kohlrabi)

This variation of a regular coleslaw, has kohlrabi, a Chinese vegetable, instead of the traditional cabbage.  Also, instead of using all mayonnaise, add yogurt and lemon (and a bit of sugar.)  Try switching up your conventional slaw.

Serve at a picnic with friends and loved ones.

Ingredients:

1 large kohlrabi, outer skin removed 

3 carrots, peeled

½ cup plain lowfat yogurt

¼ cup light mayonnaise

2 tablespoons lemon juice

½ teaspoon celery salt

3 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

(Optional - add some chopped red pepper for color, as suggested by my mother.) :-) 

(note: This Kohlrabi is from the local market at my parents place: Chesapeake's Bounty

Directions:

Using a food processor, chop the carrots and kohlrabi.

Whisk yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, celery salt, and sugar in a large bowl until blended. Look for it to be a little tangy and slightly sweet.

Add chopped slaw, dressing, and fresh parsley – toss to coat.  (Can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
