Arugula, Strawberry and Kohlrabi Salad

So I don’t get to Fairway too often, but I did have the chance to be there this week.  Wow, what a produce selection.  I wanted to buy everything.  It was so colorful, vibrant and fresh.  I did pick a few things out that I wasn’t sure what I would do with, but I did put together this delicious salad of interesting ingredients, which I think you will enjoy!  The arugula, which I love, has a peppery bite, and the kohlrabi is a cross between jicama and a radish.  It adds a delicious and refreshing crunch.  The sweetness of the strawberry and pomegranate is a perfect foil, complemented by the toasty hazelnuts.   Let me know what you think!
