Peel the kohlrabi bulbs and slice off both ends. Using a sharp knife, mandoline, or grater, julienne the kohlrabi into thin matchstick pieces.
Core the apple and julienne it into similarly sized thin matchsticks. Leave the peel on for added color and texture.
Peel the carrot and finely grate or julienne it to match the size of the other ingredients.
Thinly slice the red cabbage into shreds and measure approximately 2 cups worth.
Chop the parsley finely and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well emulsified into a dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the kohlrabi, apple, carrot, cabbage, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy as a side dish or add protein for a light meal.
