Wondering if this means regular sesame oil or toasted sesame oil...and what others used?

Hi Kimberly! I always use toasted sesame oil for this dish (or anytime that sesame is called for actually) and it was lovely :) I hope you make the dish and enjoy it.

Thanks for the quick reply, Anita! I didn't have so I toasted some sesame seeds and threw them in, and used safflower oil in the dressing. I really loved this!

Great combo! I make the same salad with jicama in place of kohlrabi. Will try with kohlrabi for sure.

Thank you for sharing this! This recipe has become my go-to way to use up the kohlrabi from my CSA. I've been using a squirt of sriracha instead of the chili, pears instead of apples, and adding a pinch of sugar to the dressing. Sometimes I use Asian 5 Spice powder instead of the cumin, too.

DIVINE! A fantastic salad! Thank you for sharing! I had it as a salad tonight but in the future, I'm imaging it diced atop of braised beef in a taco!

Lovely combination - really fresh and zingy. This could become a regular around here!

My mom bought me a huge kohlrabi so I googled a few recipes. Found this and absolutely loved it (I actually just made another batch). It's so light and refreshing! I think next time I'll throw in some scallions and maybe try some asian pear.

Love kohlrabi, and I look forward to trying this salad -- minus cilantro, since I am one of "those" people :) Many congrats on the wildcard!!!

I've been making this nonstop since I discovered it a couple of weeks ago. I added radish and sometimes scallion to the mix, and I've swapped in pear for apple. Increased the fish sauce as well. It's such a nice fresh addition to the winter vegetables soups and stews currently on my table.

This is now my favorite way to consume apples and kohlrabi. I used a hot red pepper from my CSA, barely added any heat, so as I'm making it now (again in the same week) I'm going to try more heat. Looooved this recipe.

Fantastic! I halved the sesame oil and it was great. Perfect for a hot summer day.

This looks so good! I have a couple of kohlrabi in the fridge, and everything else to make this, so I plan to give it a try within the next few days. Stay tuned. ;o)

I often see kohlrabi in the farmers' market but didn't really know what to do with it. These flavors looks really good, so I'm going to give this a try.

Very refreshing and lovely salad. Using a mandolin to cut the apples is a great idea for presentation.
