Edamame, Corn and Bok Choy Salad
Edamame, Corn and Bok Choy Salad
If you haven't had Edamame or Bok Choy you're missing out on some tasty, Asian inspired eats. Edamame are young, green soybeans and Bok Choy is a variety of Asian Cabbage (related to varieties of Western Cabbage and, oddly enough, Turnips). Both are light and uniquely flavorful veggies with a rich texture. Combined with Sweet Corn and the salty spice of an Asian inspired vinaigrette, they become a satisfying side dish to accompany any meal. Bok Choy, as most Asian greens, is one of the few vegetables that can still grow well in the garden with some fairly heavy shade. For that reason it is garden, as well as plate, friendly.
