         This sweet and tangy slaw made with bok choy is a fun twist on a summer classic, and a great way to use up your garden bounty.

    Morning friends!

    It's another Wednesday, AND time for this month's recipe redux!

    Here's what we have in store.

    Fresh from the Garden

    The season of bountiful produce has arrived. Whether your produce comes from the Farmers Market, a CSA share, or a plot of dirt out back, show how you are using fresh July fruits or veggies. And if you have gardening successes – or failures – please share!

    Because of the fact that I can barely keep basil alive, I don't trust my gray thumb to provide me with anything actually edible.

    I would be living off of withered leaves and fruit flies if I actually had to grow my own food.

    There's a thing call "experts" for a reason. And botany is not my major of study.

    Being in New England, our growing season leans towards the end of the summer for a lot of produce, but one thing that is a plenty right meow is

    GREENS!

    If you recall my goals for July one of the things was to try a new fruit or vegetable each month.

    While I've had my fair share of kale, collards, spinach, even mustard greens, one vert I've been shying away from is Bok Choy.

    Frankly, I had no idea what the heck to do with it. After seeing a row of them silently judging me at the Farmer's Market, I decided it was now show them who was Queen of the Greens.

    But nothing says summer to me quite like ice cream. watermelon. and some good old fashioned slaw!

    Mayo and celery seed just wasn't gunna cut it for my Bok Choy debut. A little bit of heat, tang, and sweet, salt, and a little bit of crunch made this slaw seriously addicting. Like two seconds after the last shot, bowl is licked clean kinda addicting.

    No shame. It's greens.

      I I love this. I am not a fan of Bok Choy because it is so watery, but maybe this slaw will change my mind since it is raw. Maybe cooking it has been my problem all along! Thank you for the inspired and healthy idea 😉

      The slaw looks amazing! Love that you used bok choy raw. Asian dressings are the best-- rice wine vinegar is well used around here 🙂

      Teehee - love your grey thumb reference. I am definitely a black thumb and have so much appreciation for anyone who can garden. I'm always looking for a new twist to bok choy - you hit it out of the park with your bok choy "debut'!

      There are so many little things they are not FODMAP friendly! It's not easy keeping up with it all. I do love the idea of soy sauce on popcorn though- yum!
