Introduction

My CSA box is brimming with huge kohlrabis and turnips. Making them into slaw seemed like an interesting idea. Some daikon radish adds a little zing and radicchio brings color to the mix.

Ingredients

    Slaw:
    2 turnips (330 grams)
    1.5 large kohlrabi (400 grams)
    2/3 of an 8" daikon radish
    1.5 cups thinly shredded radicchio

    Dressing:
    3 tbsp peanut oil
    1 tsp toasted sesame oil
    4-5 tbsp rice vinegar
    2 tsp freshly-grated ginger
    1/2 tsp sugar
    1 good squirt of Sriracha sauce (maybe 1/2 tsp??)
    3-4 shakes of Thai fish sauce
    1-2 tsp Hoisin sauce

    pinch of kosher salt (to taste)

Directions

Using a the fine julienne blade on a mandoline, the shredding disc of a food processor, or the large holes on a box grater (in that order of preference), cut the turnips, kohlrabi, and daikon into equal sized shreds. If you're julienning and the strips are quite long, you may want to chop them roughly cross-wise a few times.

Combine dressing ingredients, whisking until they are well-blended.

Pour dressing over slaw and mix thoroughly. Chill at least one hour before serving.

Variations: Add grated/julienned carrot or thinly-sliced Swiss chard

Makes 10 servings of about 1 cup/100 grams each.
