On Friday we received our first delivery from Door to Door Organics, and along with the intro to the company, we were introduced to bok choy. I might have eaten bok choy before, but I've definitely never cooked with it. I sent out an APB to my Facebook friends and have to thank sweet Carolann for coming through with the winning dish! I would go on about my love for bok choy - and how I can't wait to try other recipes - but I have guests at the house so I'll go on later! For now let's cut to the chase (and for the record - no, there are no leftovers!)

Bok Choy Salad

• 1/2 cup red wine wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 cup margarine (I used butter)
• 1/4 cup blanched slivered almonds
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 2 (3 oz) packages ramen noodle pasta, crushed (I forgot these... would add some good crunch, but still good without!)
• 1 medium head bok choy
• 3 green onions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, sugar and soy sauce. Set aside. 
2. Melt the margarine over medium heat in a small skillet. Crush the ramen noodles while still in their packaging and add to the margarine along with the almonds and sesame seeds. Saute until everything is golden brown. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
3. Chop the bok choy and green onions and add to a large bowl. Just before serving, sprinkle the noodle mixture and dressing, and toss to coat.
