Method
Step 1.
Trim, halve, and cut the cucumber into 5 cm (2-inch) pieces. Place in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and smash with a potato masher or fork. Leave to drain in the sink.
Step 2.
Trim and reserve the leaves from the kohlrabi, set aside for serving. Thinly slice the kohlrabi using a mandoline or sharp chef’s knife.
Step 3.
Blanch the peas in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 15 seconds. Drain and immediately refresh in a bowl of cold or iced water. Drain and spread out on kitchen paper to absorb as much water as possible.
Step 4.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, honey, oil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add the smashed cucumber, kohlrabi slices, and blanched peas; toss to combine.
Step 5.
Spread out the kohlrabi leaves on a serving platter. Top with the salad and garnish with pea shoots, if using.
