Ingredients for Apple Bok Choy Salad

  • 1 large head bok choy
  • Raw Cashews
  • Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • Dijon Mustard
  • 1 medium apple (cored and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • Red Onion

How to Make Apple Bok Choy Salad

  1. Trim the rough edges off the root ends of 1 large head of bok choy. Cut across the stem just below the leaf. Slice the white stem portion into 3-4 lengthwise strips, then cut across to dice. Slice the leafy top crosswise and cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Set aside in a large bowl.
  2. In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine 1/2 cup raw cashews, 1/4 cup milk (any kind), 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Add 1 medium apple (cored and chopped), 1/2 cup grated carrot, and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion to the food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
  4. Pour the dressing over the chopped bok choy and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later.
  5. Garnish with extra cashews or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
