Bok Choy doesn’t get nearly enough play. It is something that I know I pass by regularly in the vegetable aisle.  But if you are looking for something different and want to bring a bright, fun, slightly different salad than the standard mixed greens, this is a great option.  It looks so vibrant with the purple, orange, and yellow colors and the flavor of the dressing with the sesame oil and tamari are so good. Also, a healthy option as we head into the holidays! Try it at your next party.  Everyone will be asking, “Who made the salad”?

Ingredients

3 cups thinly sliced baby bok choy
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage
1 mango, peeled and chopped (or substitute with a clementine)
1 small jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped
½ cup coarsely chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp agave nectar
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp low sodium tamari
½ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Method

Combine bok choy, carrot, cabbage, mango, jalapeno, and cilantro in a large bowl.  Stir together lime juice, agave, sesame oil, and tamari in a small bowl. Pour dressing over salad and mix to combine.  Garnish with toasted walnuts.
