Kohlrabi Salad with Curry Dressing and Smoked Salmon

This kohlrabi salad is really easy and quick to make and it makes a great change to the carb-loaded potato salad for grill. Kohlrabi, aka Kohlrübe, is a typical German vegetable, because nowhere else in the world consume such a large quantity of this root vegetable as in Germany. You can either peel and dice the kohlrabi before cooking, or boil them whole for 20 minutes to preserves valuable nutrients, then peel and dice. If you can't find kohlrabi, try using other root vegetables like turnips, parsnips or rutabaga. Dill can be substituted with flat parsley.


2 Medium kohlrabi (500-600 g) 500 ml Water ½ tsp Sea salt 25 g Fresh dill 150 g Full fat Greek yoghurt 1 tsp Curry powder 1 tbsp Lemon juice 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil Salt and black pepper 150 g Smoked salmon

Wash and peel the kohlrabi and cut into small cubes. Fill a saucepan with water, kohlrabi cubes, and salt. Bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for 8 minutes until al dente. Drain and leave to cool.
Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Finely chop the dill, reserving a few leaves for decoration. Mix the Greek yoghurt and curry powder. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and season with salt and the pepper. Finally mix in the chopped dill and the diced kohlrabi.
Chill the kohlrabi salad for an hour before serving. Plcee the kohlrabi salad in a large platter or divide into 3 glasses and serve with smoked salmon and extra dill.

Grace 10/4/25 06:35: ANGIE; En primer lugar mis felicitaciones por este merecido reconocimiento.
Sin duda la constancia, la presentación, diseño, contenido y riqueza culinaria que ofreces es destacable dentro del mundo Blog.
Me complace muy sinceramente acompañarte en este proceso deseándote todo lo mejor y a continuar creando.
Tus delicias son siempre originales y adaptables en tanto en cada región no se cuente con los ingredientes originales.
En cuanto a la presente ensalada, más que oportuna. Casualmente uso el nabo en la ensalada y con salsa de soja sabe muy rico.
Por consiguiente tengo esa posibilidad de sustituir el colinabo,
Siempre gracias con el gusto de llegar a tu "exquisita mesa".
Estaré con visitas en Semana próxima; no creo poder revisar los Blogs.
Pero pronto me tendrás de regreso.
Un abrazo.

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good. ~Alice May Brock
