Kohlrabi Salsa Verde

Quick, easy and delicious! This salsa brings a great crunch from the kohlrabi and fresh kick from the peppers and cilantro! A perfect treat!

Gimme that crunch! There are many kinds of salsa, and for a million reasons have their differences, but one to focus on here is texture. For some salsas, the ingredients are cooked down so you have more of a paste, and others, like a pico, are raw, chopped veggies, giving a lot more texture. I opted for the latter in this version to accentuate the kohlrabi, and also to make this a bit more versatile in use. If you are not serving with chips, slices of cucumber or other veggies work just as well, or using as a garnish for fish or grilled meats! The texture will bring up a softer pairing!

Charm that tough guy façade. The kohlrabi can be a tough veggie, and I mean that literally! I’ve worked with quite a few, and some are much firmer on the outside that others. Be careful when handling, as they can be tricky to cut through. I highly recommend peeling the outer layer to pave the way to the inner vegetable, and start with large cuts to break this down. Similar in consistency to a jicama or potato, these can take some getting use to, and a sharper knife is often the secret!
