Ingredients

1 pound baby bok choy (4 to 6 heads)

1 teaspoon coarse salt

1 peeled apple, cut into matchsticks

2 large shredded carrots

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

Halve bok choy lengthwise; rinse under cold water to remove grit. Cut crosswise into thin strips; place in a large colander, and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Top with a plate that fits inside colander; weight with a heavy object (such as a skillet or canned goods). Set aside in sink to drain.

In a large bowl, mix apple, carrots, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and peeled fresh ginger. Add bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Toss.
