Kohlrabi, which tastes a bit like a mild, sweet broccoli stem, is popular in Israel in soups and salads. While kohlrabi is delicious just sliced and seasoned with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, this recipe softens it up by salting it for first. The result is a healthy dish that can be enjoyed at the table like a relish.
