Day Three Hundred Fifty Eight: A Slaw By Any Other Name

Wednesday marked a seven-day countdown to my little Martha project.  I have been so busy, these last few months have flown by.  I can hardly believe I'm almost done.

:frankly shocked:

That day I made Martha's Bok Choy, Carrot, and Apple Slaw.  My husband has a slaw love affair so I figured he would like this one.  Bok Choy is a kind of cabbage, only with a much cooler name. This recipe is pretty simple if you don't mind lots of chopping.

You start by halving the bok choy lengthwise, then cutting crosswise into thin strips. Throw it in a colander and sprinkle with salt.  Top with a plate and weight with a heavy object and set aside to drain. This gets the extra moisture out of the bok choy so that your slaw isn't all watery later. Don't skip this part.  (I was tempted to.)

Next toss together an apple (cut into matchsticks), shredded carrots, lemon juice, fresh ginger and a teensy bit of vegetable oil.  Add the bok choy and season with a bit of S & P.  

Gorgeous, no?

As expected, my hubby liked this...although if I make it again, I'd add something to spice it up a bit.  It is Asian-inspired, after all.

Six days to go!!
