Steps

1. 1

   Using a slicer, thinly slice the kohlrabi into very fine pieces.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine lime zest, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together to create a dressing. Add the kohlrabi to the bowl and toss it with the dressing until well coated.

3. 3

   Begin by finely chopping the kale. In a 12-inch heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sauté the garlic until it turns pale golden, which should take around 30 seconds. Gradually add the kale to the skillet, using tongs to turn and stir it while adding more kale as the volume reduces due to wilting. Once all the kale is wilted, continue sautéing with 1/2 teaspoon of salt until it reaches a tender consistency, approximately 3 minutes. Transfer the cooked kale to a bowl and allow it to cool down to room temperature. Finally, combine the cooled kale with kohlrabi and pistachios by tossing them together in the bowl.
