Wash and pat dry the bok choy. Slice them into thin strips and set aside.
Peel and julienne the carrots into thin matchstick pieces. Add them to the bowl with the bok choy.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper and green onions. Add them to the vegetables in the bowl.
Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Toast the sesame seeds and sliced almonds for 2–3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Set them aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, olive oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the bok choy mixture and toss well to combine, ensuring all vegetables are coated evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced almonds over the salad for garnish.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
