Ingredients

Bok choy (4 cups, chopped)
Avocado (1 large, diced)
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Red onion (1/2, thinly sliced)
Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
Honey (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

Begin by washing the bok choy thoroughly under running water, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Next, dice the avocado and add it to the bowl, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, then gently toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated in the zesty dressing.
For an enhanced flavor experience, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a fresh crunch.
