Bok Choy Salad
"This recipe has won more praise than any other dish. I think it is because it is so different than the standard salad fair. It is definitely the sugar/candy ramen noodles and the dressing that makes this dish very unique. So do not mix the salad and ramen noodles with the dressing until ready to eat!"

Made this tonight and it was just delicious! Crunchy and sweet and tangy and light. I used leftover baby bok choy, and peanut oil and seasoned rice vinegar, cause that's all I had, and I can't stop eating this salad. This one's a keeper. Thanks for a great recipe! -
Toasted sesame oil for part of the oil for the dressing really pumps up the flavor!

Brought this to a 4th of July cookout and brought home and empty dish. Pretty much made as directed. Got lots of compliments and several requests for the recipe. Thanks! -

Substituted 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil with some of the oil in the dressing

I followed the idea and yum! DD (5 years old) didn't like it though. I used organic butter, organic coconut sugar, tahini added at the end of browsing the extra sliced almonds, no ramen noodles, organic bok choy from our local organic fresh produce basket this week, green tops from organic shallots, agood quality organic olive oil, organic apple cider vinegar in a lesser amount for religious reasons, and grey sea salt instead of soy sauce.

This is a really delicious salad. I used sunflower seeds instead of sesame seeds just per personal preference. Also, the recipe makes a lot of dressing. We only used half and the salad was generously coated. I'll definitely make this again but only make half the dressing.
