From Lauren: I recently moved to Seattle and transferred to Bastyr University. While I’m busy settling into my new schedule, I’m excited to host some special guest posts. Today’s post comes from Arsy at Rubies and Radishes. Arsy is the author of two amazing paleo cookbooks, The Paleo Slow Cooker and The Paleo Foodie. I will be relying heavily on her slow cooker recipes in my new dorm living situation! I also love following her on Instagram.
Hi Everyone! I am Arsy from Rubies & Radishes. I am so thrilled to be here sharing a recipe with the Empowered Sustenance readers. I am a long time reader of Lauren’s blog myself and I have learned so much from the brilliant work that she does.
This Warm Beet, Kohlrabi and Watercress Salad offers a delightful combination of slightly sweet flavors from the beets and kohlrabi contrasted with the bracing peppery bite of the watercress.
For those of you that are not familiar with kohlrabi, it looks similar to a root vegetable, but it is actually a member of the cabbage family. The word “kohlrabi” is German for cabbage turnip. It can be eaten raw of cooked. It is quite tasty.
Beet noodles are one of my favorite ways to enjoy beets. They are fun to eat and quick to make! You will need a spiralzier for this recipe.

That looks delicious! I might try the dressing on a salad tomorrow night, too.
Great idea, the dressing is amazing!
How much watercress? It doesn’t say in the recipe ingredients.
How much tarragon? You’ve got it listed twice.
