WARM BOK CHOY, BEET AND FETA SALAD



Warm Bok Choy, Beet and Feta Salad image

Straying from bok choy's usual Asian flair, this lovely bright pink salad has a rich feta flavor with a fresh clean finish. The bok choy provides a nice crunch while the beets keep the tones earthy, with the feta and garlic to sharpen the flavor.

Provided by snarkitty

Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
4 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 heads baby bok choy, chopped
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 ½ teaspoons butter
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the beets, 1/4 of the chopped garlic, and the olive oil on a piece of heavy aluminum foil; fold the foil around the beets into a sealed packet.
  • Roast beets in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Let beets cool just until they can be handled, then rub with a paper towel to remove skins. Chop into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bok choy and the remaining garlic together until bok choy is slightly softened but still crunchy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the beets and the feta. Serve warm.

BABY BOK CHOY SALAD



Baby Bok Choy Salad image

This crunchy salad is from my friend, Louie. The dressing keeps very well in the cupboard, and the quantities for it shown here are enough for three or four batches of salad. The cooking time includes toasting the almonds and pine nuts. Jen -- a reviewer -- is right. This salad is better if it is dressed a while before it is served. But wait to add the crispy noodles just before serving. Leftovers of this get a bit soggy overnight, but are still quite nice the next day.

Provided by Leggy Peggy

Categories     Vegetable

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce

4 -6 green onions (or more, depending on your love of onions)
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2-1 cup crisp chow mein noodles (Chang's Original Fried Noodles in Australia)

Steps:

  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well. Set aside until needed.
  • Toast slivered almonds in a small pan. After about 1 minute, add the pine nuts and continue to toast both ingredients. Stir constantly so these don't burn. When nice browned, remove from pan and set aside to cool.
  • Chop bok choy in 1-inch pieces. Wash well to remove grit. Spin dry, or roll in a tea towel to dry.
  • Trim green onions and chop (on the diagonal) into 1-inch pieces (use both white and green bits).
  • Toss together bok choy, sliced onions, toasted nuts and several very generous sloshes of dressing. Try to dress this at least an hour before it will be served.

BOK CHOY SALAD WITH CHOW MEIN



Bok Choy Salad with Chow Mein image

This is a quick bok choy salad recipe I got from my mother. I made a few modifications to the dressing to fit my own taste, but it's been a hit with my husband, and our child and frequently asked for when they see bok choy in the store. This can be served as either an appetizer or a salad for any meal. Add green onions, if desired.

Provided by SpellsCooking

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes

Time 29m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

Tips:

  • Opt for fresh, crisp bok choy with vibrant green leaves and firm white stalks. Avoid wilted or yellowed bok choy.
  • Thoroughly rinse and dry the bok choy before use. Remove any tough outer leaves or discolored parts.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the bok choy. This will help it absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • To save time, pre-package the salad mix and dressing separately. When ready to serve, simply toss them together.
  • Customize the salad by adding other vegetables, fruits, nuts, or seeds. Some popular options include shredded carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, edamame, mandarin oranges, almonds, and sunflower seeds.
  • For a more flavorful salad, marinate the bok choy in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing to prevent the bok choy from wilting.

Conclusion:

Versatile and packed with nutrients, bok choy is an excellent addition to salads. With its slightly bitter taste and crunchy texture, it brings a unique flavor and texture to any salad. Whether you prefer a simple salad with just a few ingredients or a more elaborate one with a variety of toppings, bok choy is a great choice. Experiment with different dressings and toppings to find your favorite combination. Enjoy this delicious and healthy salad as a side dish or light meal.
