Hubby said I punished him by preparing salad for lunch! 😜
I guess he doesn't like kohlrabi.For this quick lunch salad for two you need:
- small kohlrabi, peel & chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 10 radices, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1/4 of cucumber, chopped
- chives, as much as you like
- 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- a juice of a half a lemon
Kohlrabi is actually quite healthy as it is full of fiber, minerals and vitamins (source Fineli.fi):
