Fennel And Kohlrabi Salad

So this week we have Fennel and Kohlrabi.  I begane searching for Kohlrabi recipes and discovered this this delicious sounding one, AND it looks VERY simple.

I am going to a grilfriend's house with my kids on Friday - and this should go very well with the burgers... (NEVER show up to someone's house empty handed.... totally crass.)

Fennel and Kohlrabi Salad

• 1 medium kohlrabi
• 1 medium fennel bulb
• small handful rocket (optional)
• 1 clove of garlic
• sea salt
• black pepper
• wholegrain mustard
• large lemon
• capers
• extra virgin olive oil

To make the fennel and kohlrabi salad: Slice the fennel as thinly as you can and add to a bowl of cold water and the lemon juice. Slice the kohlrabi and then pare strips off each slice with a vegetable peeler (this is to get wafer thin slices). Add to the bowl with the fennel.

- To make the lemon-caper dressing: Crush the garlic with a generous pinch of sea salt in a pestle and mortar. Add some black pepper and a heaped teaspoon of wholegrain mustard. Stir together.

- Add the juice of 1 large lemon, the capers and twice the amount of olive oil. Whisk to emulsify.

Drain the water from the salad and place in a bowl with the rocket if using. Add half the dressing and stir to coat.  Use the rest - to drizzle over top
