Bok Choy Chopped Salad

Yesterday I made a lap around the local farmer's market and came home with some beautiful hydroponic bok choy from Bolton Farms. Tonight I turned it into a chopped salad and we both loved it!

Here's the recipe:

Chop the following to bite size:

1 bunch bok choy
1 medium apple
1/2 peeled cucumber
1/4 green pepper
1 tomato
1/4 cup walnuts (toasted or warmed in the microwave)
handful of pea shoots
ham (I used 4 or 5 slices of honey ham)
grated parmesan

Dressing: (I put this in a small jar and shook it until combined)

1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 cup pear balsamic ( got this at Tasteful Additions)
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
squirt of whipped cream

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss.

We split this in half and had it for supper. I think it would also work as a side salad and would probably make 6 to 8 servings.

I think this recipe could serve as a basic pattern for a chopped salad and the ingredient combinations are only limited by your imagination.

Enjoy!!!
