Ingredients

• 1 Medium head bok choy, divided
• 1 Bunch green onions, minced
• 3 Ounces (oz) package ramen noodles, packaged
• 0.5 Cups blanched slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.33 Cups olive oil
• 3 Teaspoons (tsp) lemon juice
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) soy sauce
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) honey
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh ginger, grated
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the divided bok choy and minced green onions. Cover and refrigerate to keep them crisp and fresh.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, reserved ramen noodle seasoning packet, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and ground black pepper. Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Break the ramen noodles into small pieces and place them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the noodles until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. In the same skillet, toast the slivered almonds until they are lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Add the toasted sesame seeds and stir for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. Just before serving, combine the chilled bok choy mixture with the toasted noodle mixture in a large serving bowl. Drizzle the chilled dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
6. Serve immediately to enjoy the full crunch and freshness of this delightful salad.
