Never used bok choy in a salad? You’re in for a treat. The plant offers an addictive mix of tender leaves and crunchy stems, while its mild flavor works well with a variety of dressings. This dressing offers a combo of sweet and savory, with umami from the soy sauce balanced by sugar, spicy red pepper flakes, and pops of pomegranate seeds.
