Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    Core and thinly slice the apples. Peel and julienne the kohlrabi. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and kohlrabi. Grate the aged cheddar cheese and add it to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.

Walnut Skordalia

  1. 2

    Make the Walnut Skordalia

    In a food processor, combine walnuts, garlic, and stale bread. Pulse until finely chopped. Gradually add olive oil while processing until smooth. Add lemon juice and salt, then blend to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

White Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Agrodolce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Agrodolce

    In a small saucepan, combine honey, red wine vinegar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the honey dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Fresh Crema

  1. 5

    Make the Fresh Crema

    In a bowl, mix together sour cream, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Toasted Seeds

  1. 6

    Toast the Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large serving dish, layer the apple and kohlrabi mixture, dollops of walnut skordalia, drizzle the white balsamic vinaigrette, and finish with agrodolce. Top with fresh crema and sprinkle with toasted seeds before serving.
