This is an excellent slaw! It just smells good from the get go and tastes even better. Love the kohlrabi & red cabbage. Not even sure it needs the celery & carrots. I did add some but if I didn’t have on hand, could easily enjoy without. Great slaw & dressing ! Thanks!!

Used regular cabbage from the bag found in the produce section. The sauce recipe was a little thick and bland. I added a splash of milk to loosen it up. I also added a squirt of lemon for some zip (not too much though) Yum!

We loved it, we didn’t even wait for it to chill. I will be making it again…soon. Diva don’t cook.

Awesome… thanks for sharing

I like the combination of kohlrabi with cabbage. It adds a subtle sweetness to the slaw. The dressing is one the sweet side, but that’s how I like it. Add some extra fresh cracked black pepper and this is a great side for summer meals.

This is probably the best slaw recipe I’ve had! Super easy to make and really delicious
Karen Ramirez
Great! I added garlic scapes that I got at the farmers market and they were a nice touch.
Jennifer Waters
A little bit to sweet, a 1/4 cup would probably be the perfect balance. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this. I added more celery seed, almost triple the amount. Thank you for the recipe!
Becky Livingston
This recipe was delicious – don’t leave out the kohlrabi, its flavor is important. I used 2 Tablespoons of agave nectar instead of sugar giving a beautiful light brown glaze to vegetables.
Robert Hayes
Didn’t have celery seed so substituted spicy mustard and a dash of jalapeño sauce.
Kenneth Cunningham
I made this recipe exactly minus the celery seed since I didn’t have any. So good! The dressing is nice and tangy. My friend said it was the best riff on a traditional coleslaw she’s ever had! Took a while to cut and grate everything, but so worthwhile. Great recipe.
Shannon Richards
The kohlrabi made it extra crunchy and the dressing was delicious!
Becky Taylor
This was delicious. I made exactly as it says but I rinsed my onions through a sieve. Jacque Pepin suggested it for anything you put raw onion into and its a great tip to take away that severe overpowering taste without losing flavor.

I used xylitol in place of the white sugar and used Hain’s safflower mayonnaise. It was absolutely the best coleslaw I have ever tasted! I will be making this again and again!

If you have a garden, try growing kohlrabi. If you grow kohlrabi, try making this slaw! It’s fantastic. I was nervous about serving it at a party (since I had never made it before), so I made traditional cole slaw also. This one was the winner, hands down. I cheated a bit and used bagged coleslaw mix in place of the sliced cabbage and carrots.

I used red cabbage. Made the slaw with extra celery seed and about 1/4 tsp of celery salt. otherwise, followed the recipe. Didn’t think the dressing was going to be enough but it was just right if you like a light dressing. Definitely will make this again. It would be nice to take to a pot luck for people to try kohlrabi.

My family loved this slaw. I didn’t have any kohlrabi so I increased the cabbage to 5 cups and added about 8 to 10 chopped Kalamata Olives. It added just that right amount of sour to offset the sweetness. I have never had kohlrabi before but will definitely try it with this recipe next time and there will be lots of next times.
Jon Olsen
Used about double the cabbage; the kohlrabi came through just right. Will continue making it as long as our gardening friend brings kohlrabi
Stefanie Shah
I’ve made this a couple of times now and the recipe has helped me fall in love with kohlrabi. My husband is generally picky about vegetables but enjoys this slaw. I do not add in the celery but instead add some extra carrot & cabbage. Making it again for the Independence Day weekend!

Best summer slaw!
