Crunchy Bok Choy Salad

Here is another different salad recipe a bit outside the normal mayo based salad. It's a great salad for BBQ's and other outdoor events. The recipe yields about 10 to 12 servings.

For this recipe, you will be using Raman noodles. For simplicity you can use the 3oz single serving sized packets. All we want is the noodles, so you can discard the seasoning packet or save it for future use.

Ingredients:

1 head of bok choy, finely chopped
2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced
2 packages ramen noodles, noodles broken
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 tbsp sunflower kernels
butter or olive oil for cooking

Dressing Preparation:

1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce

Combine all ingredients, shake well and reserve for salad

Directions:

1) Prepare bok choy and green onion and place in mixing bowl - set aside

2) In a large skillet, sauté the noodles, almonds and sunflower kernels in butter/olive oil until browned (6 to 8 minutes)

3) Remove seed mixture from heat and allow to cool to room temperature

4) When cooled, add nut mixture to mixing bowl with bok choy/green onions and mix

5) Reshake dressing and drizzle over salad and toss to coat
