Cooking notes:
• Garlic Scapes – all can be used except for the tapered tip which is tough. Chop small or coarse and add to eggs, stir fries, or anything that you would put garlic in. Garlic lovers might try tossing them in oil and grilling. Cooked scapes are less intense than bulb garlic, something like the green onion of the garlic world.
Kohlrabi & Apple Slaw
Ingredients
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 4 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and grated
