Kohlrabi Salad

Kohlrabi (also called a turnip cabbage) tastes like the offspring of a radish and jicama. This refreshingly crisp, juicy vegetable is loaded with vitamin C. Putzel Kitchen mixes it with other fresh garden flavors of fennel, dill and seasonal berries to make a light, bright salad in minutes.

  1. Hi Nicole. I am an Events Coordinator at Lake Forest  Book Store. We have had a request by a customer to purchase your book The Seasoned Plate. Would it be possible for us to consign 3 or 4 copies for you? It is too costly for us to order through Ingram (we do not get our discount and they are not returnable). The customer would love to have a copy by Friday. Thank you!
