Kohlrabi is underappreciated and misunderstood. But we've decided it's got our favorite crunch: sweet, dense, and snappy (think broccoli stem).

Ingredients
1/2 cup blanched hazelnuts
1 white or pink grapefruit
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice or regular lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoons sumac, plus more
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Let cool; crush with the flat side of a knife.
Step 2
Remove peel and white pith from grapefruit; discard. Cut along sides of membranes to release segments into a small bowl; discard membranes.
Step 3
Whisk sour cream, Meyer lemon juice, shallot, and 1 tsp. sumac in a large bowl; season dressing with salt and pepper. Add lettuce and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Tuck kohlrabi and grapefruit under and between lettuce. Top with herbs, hazelnuts, and more sumac.
