Shaved Fennel and Kohlrabi Salad

Bright, crunchy, and nutty, this salad hits the spot

A shaved salad is an amazing thing. Once dressed, sturdy vegetables like kohlrabi and fennel hold up unlike leafy greens and often get even better with a bit of time. This salad is crunchy, bright, and balanced, with freshness from the shaved veg rounded out by a generous amount of buttery roasted hazelnuts and the savoury depth of aged parmigiano. I’m crazy about this one and will be making it on repeat for the foreseeable future.

I served this salad at a workshop in London last weekend, part of an ongoing series we’ve named The Nurture Project. The day began with a calming yoga class led by Sara Pikkarainen, followed by a nourishing brunch and then a creative afternoon of drawing and painting led by textile designer Lisa King. I love these days. They feel balanced and grounded in a sense of well-being and community, like a soothing balm for the soul. There will be more to come, so if you’re in London keep an eye out for the next one x
