This is a lovelt recipe! I’ll try this soon 🙂 As for your dislike for eggplant: try to bake them in thin slices to make eggplant chips! (great over marinara)

I haven’t had Kohlrabi since I was a kid and I just loved them then. I don’t know why I stopped eating them! Thanks for jolting me back into Kohlrabi land. Never saw a purple one. It’s really beautiful. Thank you so much for your blog. I was always perfectly happy eating noodles, but I think I need to expand my horizons!!

In reply to Chris. So sad, it seems my tiny local store doesn't sell kohlrabi, but since I had all the rest of the ingredients in my cart I wondered what else I could use. I saw a jicama, and since I've never tried that either, decided to give it a try. Followed the recipe exactly except for the vegetable switch and LOVE IT! If I ever find kohlrabi, I'll try again, but I'm so glad I didn't just give up. The salad was delicious!

Mary Beth – I am definitely working on these process shots. In the meantime, here’s what I mean by cutting halfways: http://www.inspiralized.com/2014/01/10/half-moon-shaped-spiralized-veggies-zucchini-kale-apple-slaw/

In reply to Anonymous. You shave the asparagus, so it's thin and leaf-like!

Do you cook or blanch the asparagus? I have never eaten it raw before, seems like it would be a little tough?? Thx

This looks very good. I’d like to see more photos of the actual prep process, especially of whatever vegetable you’re using loaded into the Spiralizer. For the kohlrabi when you say to cut it halfway through, do you mean pole-to-pole or around the equator? Sorry, I don’t have a Spiralizer yet, but I’ll be getting one before long and I’m saving all these recipes in the meantime! I do have a Vegetti, the “as seen on TV” handheld spiralizer, and it works pretty well on zucchini and squash, but not so much on harder vegs like kohlrabi, I think. Anyway — keep ’em coming! And thanks for the nutritionals, because having that data lets me calculate Weight Watchers points!

In reply to Chris. Yes, the tops are edible! You can chop them up and throw them in the dish!

I’ve never tried kohlrabi. It looked so foreign; I had no idea what to do with it. Now I do. This is on my ‘To Do’ list! Thanks! Are the tops edible? It seems such a waste to just toss them out.

Beautiful and delicious-looking salad. Can’t wait for the upcoming kohlrabi recipes too! (BTW Ali, you’re becoming quite the food photographer!)
