Kohlrabi, carrot and sesame slaw

Serves 4 15 min

With its bulbous, alien appearance kohlrabi (also known as cabbage turnip) can be overlooked, but it has a radish-like crunch and a turnipy mildness that's easily enjoyed – as in this light, fresh coleslaw. This stands up well as a packed lunch, or is brilliant accompaniment to a barbecue.
