Asian Bok Choy Slaw


This slaw is perfect as a side for a variety of dishes, especially burgers and other grilled meats. The flavors are bold, yet not over powering or overwhelming. And the best part is the unbelievably low calorie count!

Calories: Only 35 per serving (each serving being 3/4 cup)

Servings: 4-6

1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt
6 cups bok choy, thinly sliced (including more than half of the white stem)
2-3 cups carrots, shredded
2-3 scallions/green onions, thinly sliced
2 handful cilantro, chopped
1-2 handful roasted peanuts, crushed

Make a dressing with the first 5 ingredients and keep in the fridge. About 10 minutes before ready to serve, combine the other ingredients and then the dressing. Mix well and serve.

Note: Even though I prefer it crunchy, you can mix the dressing with the veggies ahead of time and refrigerate. The flavor will be just as good, but it will lose its crunchy texture.
