Author Notes: Our farmers market has delicious little kohlrabi these days and my new favorite preparation is to eat it raw, thinly sliced, with a lemon caper dressing. - Fairmount_market

Makes 4 as a side salad, 2 as an entree

salad components

1 small kohlrabi
16 tender lettuce leaves

lemon caper dressing

1 tablespoon capers
1 large lemon
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil

First prepare the dressing. Zest the lemon (I like to use a microplane grater) and juice it. Combining all the ingredients in a miniprocessor or blener, or chop the capers by hand and whisk in the other ingredients. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
Peel the kohlrabi very generously with a paring knife to remove any woody parts. Cut the peeled kohlrabi halves and then slice into very thinly (or use a mandoline).
Wash the lettuce leaves and arrange on four salad plates. Spread over the kohlrabi slices. Pour a generous amount of the lemon caper dressing over the sliced kohlrabi. Enjoy.
