And a Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! Rather than make those fabulous Dropkick Scones again, I've opted instead for a crunchy bok choy salad with citrus dressing - sneaking in a few chunks of baby mandarin oranges just for fun. The sun is shining (finally!) and it's above 40 degrees, so it's Salad Season in New Hampshire.This makes about 4 servings.
* * *
about 4 cups bok choy, mostly the white part, sliced into 1" pieces
(some green is nice, but not too much)
several slivers of red onion, sliced very thinly
a few mandarin orange sections ( I used canned)
* *
The Dressing:
1 T. olive oil (this is optional - I skipped it)
1 T. orange juice, freshly squeezed
2 t. fresh lemon juice
freshly ground pepper
1/2 clove garlic, pressed
Mix well with a fork before drizzling on the salad.
Enjoy your day!

Love the salad! Bok choy is my husband's favorite word-yes he is immature sometimes and likes to yell it in the produce section:)
That's hilarious, Maria! He sounds like quite the character - and I hope he enjoys eating bok choy as well:)
Do you cook the bok choy, or does it marinate and cook itself in the dressing?
It's been so gorgeous here with warm sunny days and I was outside in a t-shirt today. I was just thinking that it was finally salad weather again!
Barbara - I use bok choy raw - it's crunchy and watery and mild, kind of like iceberg lettuce, which I have a secret (shhhhh) fondness for. No need to cook.
Me, too, Michelle! Beautiful last two days here. Some places have lots of snow ( like where I am), but walk into town and it's all gone! Love it!
Maria's commnet about her husband made my day - it may be just about the best comment I've ever read!
I don't think I've had bok choy as a salad, but your looks delicious.
It was 68 degrees here today - crazy (but gorgeous) weather for March - our snow is All Gone!!!
Do you eat your bok choy raw? I usually blanch it a few seconds.
Love me some bok choy salad! And not celebrating St. Paddy's till tomorrow if you can believe it. Go figure.
Barb - wasn't that hilarious? Maria's husband sounds like a very intersting guy:) Wow! 68 degrees? That's tropical!
tigerfish - always. Sometimes I throw the green parts in a soup, but I just LOVE it raw.
Kelly - I give up. Why?
I also love raw bok choy. It is wonderfully mild in a salad. I have a spicy version that I just love to make. Yours looks delicious also.
Joanne, I would love to see your recipe for spicy bok choy salad!
