A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of.

2 kohlrabi, bulbs
1 large carrot, peeled
1 teaspoon fennel seeds or 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Tips for Making Fennel, Apple, and Kohlrabi Salad:

- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices. - If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the fennel, apple, and kohlrabi. - Be sure to rinse the fennel and kohlrabi thoroughly before slicing, as they can be gritty. - If you don't like the strong flavor of fennel, you can use less of it in the salad. - Be sure to dress the salad with a citrusy vinaigrette to brighten up the flavors. - You can also add other ingredients to the salad, such as nuts, seeds, or crumbled cheese.

Conclusion:

This fennel, apple, and kohlrabi salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
