Feel free to vary the vegetables in this salad according to what you have in your garden or find at the farmers' market.

Hints:

Peel the lemon with a vegetable peeler, yielding very thin strips. Use the remaining lemon for the juice in this recipe. Kohlrabi, a relative of cabbage and broccoli, may be unfamiliar to you, but I highly recommend it in this recipe. If you can’t find it, use sliced zucchini instead.
