One of my mom's salads. I always loved its freshness and enjoyed it with almost anything (except desserts.. :P) It goes wonderfully with any kind of steak, fried chicken or vegetarian mains like pilafs, potatoes and so on.
We mostly had it around in winter, but also in the spring and whenever the kohlrabies were fresh in season, for a little detox routine.
It's ridiculously simple, with only three ingredients (one of them being salt...) but I wouldn't change anything about it. If you taste it, enjoy this little bit of our culture! :)
P.S: Sorry for the quality of the pictures on this one. But trust me, it reflects nothing of the salad's yumminess.
Last year: Tiramisu pralines (Italian-style).
Two years ago: Salată orientală (Romanian potato salad).
Three years ago: Risotto carbonara (Italian).
Four years ago: Plăcintă cu dovleac (My mom's pumpkin pie, with puff pastry) (Romanian-Moldavian).
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 2 kohlrabies
- a bit of salt (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree / juice
Just coarsely grate the washed and peeled kohlrabies using an automatic grater. Then take big handfuls of the grated kohlrabi and squeeze the liquid out of them before putting the pulp in the salad bowl. Below are my mother's hands doing this :) :
(By the way, the juice shouldn't be thrown out, it's delicious to drink and very healthy, so dig in while you're making the salad). Next, add the tomato juice, mix well and then adjust the seasoning with as much salt as you think is enough. It's done, dig in! :)
