Kohlrabi in a mayonnaise, mustard, and garlic vinaigrette.
The Sputnik-like shaped kohlrabi is a member of the cabbage family. Its taste and texture are somewhat between those of a radish and a cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter, with the flesh as crisp and juicy as an apple. It can be eaten raw or cooked.

A very good introduction to this vegetable. Not the healthiest one (re: mayo) - but tasty. The veggie tastes and has a similar consistency to broccoli stems, but sweeter. I have since used kohlrabi in other healthier ways. It is great just steamed in cubes, with salt, pepper, lemon (1 tbsp) and oil (2 tbsp).
It's a little sour, but sometimes, that's a good thing!
Delicious and simple salad, and I tried a new vegetable for the first time in my lift! Would totally do it again.
