Fennel and Kohlrabi Salad

The Boone farmer's market had some lovely kohlrabi roots this weekend, but unfortunately they did not come with the leaves. I normally buy kohlrabi with leaves and make a tasty salad with lemons, sea salt & olive oil based on a recipe from Sheila Neal which I also modified very slightly and will also have to post someday.


Today's salad used the following ingredients which just happened to be in the fridg:

2 kohlrabi roots
1 fennel, bulb + leaves
1/2 large red onion
2 champagne mangos
1 medium jicama
3 celery stalks
cilantro, cut finely
2 limes, juice + zest
4 Tbs olive oil
sea salt

All the veggies were quickly sliced with a mandoline. The mango was diced. Combine all in a bowl and toss. This was served with crackers & goat cheese.
