Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon oil (preferably extra vigin olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (preferably raw apple cider vinegar)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: (optional, choose one)

- 4 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions
- Combine dressing ingredients in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Mix with a small whisk or fork.
- Cut the green top off of the kohlrabi. Trim off the tough ends and nubs on sides. If the peeling is tough, go ahead and peel, but if not leave the peeling on. (An unpeeled purple kohlrabi is particularly attractive salad in this salad.) Cut in half. Place each half cut-side down and cut in half again. Slice each quarter into thin slices. Place in a medium bowl.
- Peel the orange, but don’t worry about leaving some of the white pith on it. This is the most nutritious part of the orange. Slice across the orange to make 1/4-inch thick rounds. Cut rounds into quarters. Remove any seeds. Add to kohlrabi.
- Cut avocado into pieces about the same size as the orange pieces. Add to bowl.
- Mix dressing again and drizzle on top. Gently toss.
- Garnish if desired with sprouts or fresh thyme.
