Towards the end of December, there's nothing I crave more than fresh fruits and veggies. While I love all the holiday goodies the season brings, too many get me running to the crisper, ready to devour anything that's not sugar-coated or in a pie shell.
That desire inspired this Vegan Apple, Kohlrabi & Jicama Salad, which graced the table at a recent family dinner. It got everyone coming back for seconds and thirds, and even left them too full for dessert! Now that's a sign of a good dish.
This dish, in particular, is full of fiber, healthy fats, and Vitamin C. If you're craving something wholesome to ring in the new year, I highly recommend you try this one out!
