ABOUT Pak Choi Chicken Salad RECIPE

I love experimenting new Salads. This Salad is inspired by one I came across in a local magazine. And what caught my attention was the Pak-Choi. I love incorporating greens in my food, But whole lot of raw green leaves?? Kept me wondering about the outcome... hmm so just gave it a try and you won't believe, the salad bowl was all wiped out at dinner. And the result was guilt free indulgence, almost like winning the battle without much effort, that too in a" healthy" way. Pak choi belongs to the cabbage family, and is known by different names like, Bok choy, Horse's ear, Chinese celery cabbage and White mustard cabbage. It looks like a short Celery with white or pale green Chunky stalks and dark green leaves. The flavour is somewhat between Crunchy cabbage and Spinach. Easily available in your local supermarket.
