This recipe sounds delicious. Cut your prep time by grating the kohlrabi and apple.
Kohlrabi and Apple Salad with Creamy Mustard Dressing
Kohlrabi
Roasted Kohlrabi and Butternut Squash

This site catalogues recipes from Gourmet Magazine, and is my first go-to resource. They have many suggestions for kohlrabi, but I couldn’t resist this entry which also features butternut squash.
LeRoy’s Kohlrabi and Apple Slaw
The last recipe for today is from Julia LeRoy who just closed her restaurant, LeRoy’s Fried Chicken. I’m taking liberties with her recipe which was originally for turnips. It’s similar to a recipe Suzanne posted 2 weeks ago for kohlrabi slaw. I made this slaw, adding a little homemade horseradish mustard. Yum! I may never eat kohlrabi any other way. Of course if you have any turnips lurking in the refrigerator, add them to the kohlrabi here.
Kohlrabi and Rutabaga Gratin
This is another recipe from Jason Paolini, a variation on classic scalloped potatoes. Jason prepared this with kohlrabi and potatoes. I think kohlrabi and rutabaga would be a lovely combination.
Kohlrabi and Turnip Slaw
I mentioned before that I’ve become a big fan of kohlrabi in slaw. Here’s a recipe demonstrated at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market by Jason Paolini of Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch. No crème fraiche? You could use sour cream or yogurt or, yes, even mayonnaise. No turnips? Just leave them out, maybe adding another carrot.
Warm sauce: Anchovy and Olive Oil Sauce
Instead of trying to dream up with to do with all the individual components of this week’s box, I thought I’d offer an option that would feature several. Where one kohlrabi might not go far in a single dish, combined with some of its neighbors from the box, it can make a really wonderful meal.
I love the way dipping sauces bring things together. Here’s a suggestion for one warm and one cold version. They’d both work well for dipping sliced raw fennel or kohlrabi, carrots and beets (raw or steamed), or you can pour either one over wilted beet greens or Swiss chard. The ideas come from The Splendid Table, that wonderful NPR program on all things delicious.
This is the classic “bagna cauda” perfect for vegetables and bread. Don’t be afraid of the anchovies, although you can leave them out if you absolutely must. And if you have a garlic scape or two left over from last week, try them in this recipe. Also delicious over pasta, maybe with those wilted greens.
Yogurt-Cucumber Dressing/Dip
I’m sharing two dips, one of which use cucumbers in the recipe. Both would work just as well as a salad dressing, but I was thinking of them as dips for fingers of fennel and kohlrabi, and disks of summer squash and cucumber. Green Goddess Dressing is traditionally made with a mixture of herbs and anchovies, but you can adjust it to suit your household’s taste.
Vegetable Pot Pie
The folks at Moore Farms and Friends offer an alternative to the traditional CSA and in their weekly e-newsletter, they included this recipe. I thought it was a great explanation of how interesting recipes and dishes get developed. Enjoy it with any of the roots in today’s box. This is copied straight from Laurie’s email.
