Making the Salad

  • Chop the kale into small pieces.
  • Steam or boil the broccoli until just al dente and still green. Let cool.
  • Peel and dice the apple. Pour over a bit of lemon juice or vinegar and stir so it doesn't brown.
  • Peel and dice the kohlrabi.
  • Shave the brussel sprouts on a mandolin. Alternatively slice very very thin.
  • Roughly chop the hazelnuts.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale, shaved sprouts, cooled-down broccoli, diced apple, diced kohlrabi.
  • Drizzle the hazelnut dressing over the salad and mix together until everything is well coated.

Seasoning and Serving:

  • Taste the slaw and add salt to adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top, serve and enjoy!
