Preparation
-
Prepare the Aleppo-spiced Almonds
- Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Combine the water and sugar in a bowl. Pour mixture into a sauté pan, and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken. The bubbles will become large and fill the surface of the pan. When the sugar starts to change color, add the almonds. Stir to coat the almonds with the sugar mixture. Once the almonds are evenly coated, pour onto the oiled baking sheet and spread the almonds into a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and Aleppo pepper. Mix and redistribute.

- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, fennel, red peppers, kohlrabi, and green onions.
- Add herbs, vinegar and dressing, season with salt and pepper then toss. Add the peaches and nuts and gently toss.
