Mizuna, mi-whatta?

Learning about new veggies is one of my favorite aspects of participating in a CSA. Today's pick-up included something called mizuna. It has long, deep green, serrated leaves and a peppery taste.

A quick Google search reveals that mizuna is a Japanese mustard green, and apparently is good for stir fry. I'm looking forward to trying this Soba Noodle Salad w/ Mizuna recipe.

What are you planning to do with this piquant green?

Kohlrabi Slaw

A simple, delicious and nutritious recipe for kohlrabi slaw:

1 kohlrabi, shredded
3 radishes, shredded
1 carrot, shredded
splash of extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp champagne or white wine vinegar
fresh chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Mix ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to rest at least an hour before serving so flavors meld together.

I don't measure ingredients out when I cook, so amounts are estimates. Make the recipe to your own taste!

Hope you enjoy this simple dish as much as I do.
Buen provecho!
