A host of fresh herbs—mint, cilantro, and parsley—plus ginger and lemon zest add refreshing zip to this grain salad.

The radicchio delivers nice color, but endive or escarole hearts would be smart substitutions flavorwise.

You can pluck the herbs ahead of time and chill them wrapped in damp paper towels in airtight bags.

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