Zesty Bok Choy Salad

Bok choy, another healthy addition to our regular diet, is known for its cancer fighting properties, due to high levels of antioxidants. The high fiber in bok choy helps regulate digestion and it's high vitamin and mineral content makes it a great weight loss food. The potassium and calcium found in this cruciferous vegetable, help lower blood pressure, and Vitamin C boosts the immune system. It is known to increase milk supply in breastfeeding mothers.

I found the original recipe for this salad in Matt Amsden's RAWvolution recipe book and I made some adjustments to it to fit my taste. The flavors are excellent and the salad is very filling.


Servings: 2 as main course; 4 as side dish

4-5 bunches of bok choy
1 avocado diced
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Nama Shoyu
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 cloves garlic

Process olive oil, nama shoyu and lemon juice in blender until smooth and creamy. Add chopped garlic and blend for about 5 seconds on high speed.

Wash and chop up bok choy into half inch pieces. Add avocados. Pour desired amount of sauce over it and enjoy. Left over sauce can be used the following day on your salad.
