Final Word
Let’s be honest, if you’ve never had Bok Choy before, you may wondering if it’s any good. I can tell you that you will not be disappointed by using bok choy in this Boy Choy Salad Recipe. It’s truly yummy, and very nutritious. May God Bless this world, Linda.
Sounds great, Linda.
Looks good, except I’d substitute the soy sauce maybe with Kitchen Bouquet and the sugar with Splenda or Stevia. Other wise I’m not sure anyone here can eat this due to the salt and sugar in it. Having dietary restrictions is a bummer sometimes.
I wonder if bean sprouts or even mandarin oranges would make a nice addition. Sometimes my father puts oranges or raisins in coleslaw so it isn’t exactly the same all the time.
Hi Frank, oh wow, mandarin oranges, and raisins would be a great addition! You can always substitute the ingredients, that’s why we cook from scratch. I love it! Linda
Hi Linda! Great looking Bok Choy salad! I’ll have to try it soon. We use the leaves as an addition in a lettuce salad kind of like Kale. We cut the bottom thick parts up for use in chicken/turkey salad instead of using celery. And of course as per your suggestion we plant the root end to get additional greatness from it! Love free food!!!
Hi Bill, I hope you like the salad. You can use any dressing with it! It’s so light and even with the processed Chinese noodles, it seems healthy to me! Linda
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it! Making it tonight!
Hi Camille, you will love it! You can use any dressing that fits your taste buds! Linda
I made this last night for dinner. Oh my gosh……we loved it!
