Flat bread with Kohlrabi Salad and Grilled Chicken



I made up this recipe myself. Every year we get Kohlrabi from the CSA we belong to. Every year i have tried it and had yet to find a way that I liked it. Kohlrabi is a member of the same family as cabbage and broccoli and has sort of a cabbagy taste. When I used to work at Wendy's (back when they had their pita's) they had a broccoli slaw. I thought if I could do something like that with Kohlrabi I could eat it, and enjoy it. This is what I came up with. We thought it was pretty good.

Kohlrabi Salad

2 kohlrabi, purple or green (I think the purple is a little sweeter and it's pretty in the salad)
1 carrot
1 clove garlic
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup light sour cream
1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dried dill (or use 3-4 T fresh)
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste

Peel the stems off the kohlrabi, but do not peel. This leave a little color for the slaw, especially the purple ones. Trim root end. Slice into julienne strips. Grate carrot and toss with kohlrabi. Mix together remaining ingredients and toss into vegetables. Let sit 30 minutes before serving.

To make a yummy sandwich: Place a generous portion of the slaw on a piece of flatbread and top with strips of grilled chicken. Enjoy!
