Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads baby bok choy
- 2 large carrot
- 1 medium apple
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the bok choy. Trim off the base and separate the leaves. Thinly slice the stems and leaves, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a coarse grater, then add them to the bowl with the bok choy.
Core the apple and cut it into thin matchstick slices or julienne strips. Add the apple to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the cilantro leaves. Add both to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the bok choy, carrot, apple, and onion mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Let the slaw sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve as a side dish or enjoy it as a light salad. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
