Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 small kohlrabi, cut into matchsticks about ¼″ wide
1 large Honeycrisp apple (about ½ pound), cored and cut into matchsticks about ¼″ wide
⅓ cup grated gouda cheese (optional)
3 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds*
Lemon zest, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a large serving bowl, combine the kohlrabi and apple. Add the cheese, if using, and sunflower seeds. Shave lemon zest over the bowl (about half of a small lemon’s worth or more).
Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, then lightly add with salt and black pepper. Use your hands to gently toss the salad. Add another drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice if the salad seems dry. Finish with another sprinkle of salt and pepper and serve immediately.
