Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bulb of kohlrabi, peeled and sliced into thin strips
1 green apple, peeled and sliced into thin strips
1 fennel bulb, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons local wildflower honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
zest & juice of a 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup toasted walnuts
a handful of soft cheese, cubed - mine was made locally from cow's milk with a sweet, sharp flavor. Goat cheese or blue cheese would be tasty, too.

Steps:

1. Slice the kohlrabi, then the apples, and set them aside. 2. Zest the lemon, juice it, and mix both with the honey & oil for the Honey-Lemon Dressing. 3. When ready to eat, toss the Honey-Lemon Dressing, walnuts, cheese, and fennel seeds, and you can eat right away. Other notes: If the dressing seeps in for 5-10 minutes, the kohlrabi will soften and taste even better. For a variation, try it with pears instead of apples. That was the combination I had in mind, but I did not have any pears in my kitchen today.
