Kohlrabi and Kale Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing

Quick, simple, clean, bright and delicious! A perfect compliment to any dish, and improves with age as the dressing gets more familiar with the kale and kohlrabi. It seems that every kohlrabi we have unearthed in our farm-share box this month is bursting with sweetness! They were harvested in the Fall, and are kept in a storage cellar over the winter to dole out weekly to CSA members like me’self. Perhaps storage ripens them, like wine and cheese? It’s nearly impossible not to get out of control with my cooking-munching. In fact, if you need a quick snack just dish up spears of kohlrabi to dunk in hummus or other dips.
