Added a little grated ginger to give it some more interest. Really light and flavorful.

I've recently begun to experiment with healthier alternatives to the typical mayo based slaws. I really enjoyed this one for the taste and appearance. Was tempted to skip the bok choy but found it addded a nice crunch to the salad as well some contrast to the pale napa cabbage. Same would be said for the red onions -- which I would encourge folks to add. My only comment would be that I found the dressing a wee bit sharp. Added a bit of of Splenda and water to the dressing and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks Derf!!
