Kohlrabi Kale Beet Salad – Immense Body-Wide Benefits
This Kohlrabi Kale Beet Salad creates a salad rainbow! The texture and taste of kohlrabi are comparable to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but sweeter and milder, with a higher ratio of flesh to skin. The young stem, in particular, can be as crisp and juicy as an apple, although much less sweet. What an amazing flavor combination with kohlrabi, raw beets, and all the rest. Just check out these ingredients. Here’s an excellent way to try beets – for those who think you don’t like them.
