Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup kohlrabi, peeled and diced
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
- Juice from 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small red onion, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
Instructions
- Prep your veggies: Start by peeling and dicing the kohlrabi into bite-sized cubes. Grate the carrots and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Cook your chickpeas: If using dried chickpeas, soak overnight and boil until tender. If using canned, drain and rinse well, then toss into the bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, honey (or maple syrup), and crushed garlic. Whisk until well-blended.
- Combine everything: Pour the dressing over the kohlrabi, carrots, and chickpeas. Add the chopped cilantro and sliced red onion. Mix gently.
- Taste your creation: Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt as needed.
- Chill and serve: Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Notes
Feel free to switch kohlrabi with jicama or firm apples for crunch. Letting the salad sit enhances the flavors.
