Servings: 4

Ingredients

Bok choy (4 cups, chopped)
Carrots (2, grated)
Red bell pepper (1, thinly sliced)
Green onions (3, sliced)
Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
Toasted sesame seeds (2 tablespoons)
Sesame oil (3 tablespoons)
Honey (1 tablespoon)
Rice vinegar (2 tablespoons)
Lime juice (1 tablespoon)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped bok choy, grated carrots, sliced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix the vegetables evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined, creating a tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor just before serving.
For the best flavor, let the slaw sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the dressing to meld with the vegetables.
