Instructions

How To Cut Kohlrabi:

Cut the leaves off the top of the kohlrabi with a knife. The leaves may be used in another recipe or discarded.
Cut the top and bottom of the kohlrabi off with a knife and discard. This will give you a flat surface on both the top and bottom portion of the vegetable and make it easier to cut.
With the flat surface of the kohlrabi on the cutting board remove the skin with the knife and discard.
Once the kohlrabi is completely peeled cut it half and then into chunks.
To cut it into matchsticks simply cut each of the chunks into slices, stack the thin slices on top of one another, and cut the stacks into thin strips.
Continue until you have roughly 6 heaping cups of thinly sliced kohlrabi. Place the sliced kohlrabi in a bowl.

For The Dressing:

Cut 2 cloves of garlic into chunks. Cut a jalapeno in half, remove the seeds, and cut it into chunks.
Place the garlic and jalapeno into a mini food processor. Add ⅓ cup each of mayo and sour cream. Add ¼ tsp. of kosher salt and pepper along with 2 Tbsp. lime juice. Add ½ cup of fresh cilantro.
Pulse until the mixture is creamy and completely combined.
Pour the dressing over the sliced kohlrabi a bit at a time and stir until completely combined. You can add as much or as little dressing as you like.
To Serve: May be served immediately. Garnish with a squeeze of lime over the top (optional).

Notes

Kohlrabi has a naturally high water content and the salt in the dressing may draw some of the water out causing the dressing to become watery. It's best to serve with a slotted spoon to avoid a mess when serving.
