Ingredients

Serves 4

　　1 pound baby bok choy (4 to 6 heads), halved lengthwise

　　Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

　　1 apple, peeled and cut into matchsticks

　　2 large carrots, shredded

　　3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　1 tablespoon vegetable oil

　　1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger

　　

Step 1

Rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove grit. Cut crosswise into thin strips; place in a large colander, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat. Top with a plate that fits inside the colander; weight with a heavy object (such as a skillet or canned goods). Set aside in sink to drain.

　　

Step 2

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