Kohlrabi and Ranch Salad
Valentina P
The ideal light and summery salad, made with tender lettuce, tomatoes, corn, kohlrabi, and creamy ranch dressing. Kohlrabi, is a funny-looking member of the cabbage family that adds a crisp, flavor that's similar to broccoli stems.
How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 3 ounces mixed greens (about 4 handfuls)
- 1 cup cooked corn, ideally fresh (Note 1)
- 1 cup kohlrabi, cut into thin matchsticks (about 1/4 medium bulb)
- 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup grated parmigiano reggiano or aged gouda (optional, for topping)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 33333333/100000000 cup sunflower seeds
- ranch dressing, to taste (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut the kohlrabi into quarters and discard the tough core. Peel the kohlrabi to remove the tough skin. Carefully slice the peel kohlrabi into thin matchstick shapes, enough to equal 1 cup.
- Step 2: Add all of the salad ingredients, except the grated cheese, to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with ranch dressing, to taste.
- Serve: Transfer the salad onto plates, top with the optional grated cheese, and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: If using fresh ears of corn, cook them on a grill, in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes, or in an oven. My favorite way to prepare corn comes from Tyler Florence. For either method you choose, slice the corn kernels off of the cooled cob with a sharp knife. Set aside.
