Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the bok choy and cabbage

  • Trim the root ends from the bok choy; cut the bok choy in half lengthwise. Cut off the green tops and coarsely chop; set aside for finishing the salad. Set aside the bottom parts for cooking.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; cut the scallions on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for finishing the salad and the white parts for cooking.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the bottom parts of the bok choy, cut sides down, and cook without turning until lightly browned and just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Wipe out the pan. 

In the same pan over medium-high heat, add the cabbage and white parts of the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

2

Toast the almonds

In the same pan used for the vegetables, over medium heat, toast the almonds, stirring often, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan.

3

Make the panko-Parmesan crumble

  • In a small bowl, stir together the panko, Parmesan, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. 

In the same pan used for the almonds, over medium heat, add the panko-Parmesan mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. 

4

Prep the remaining ingredients; make the salad

  • Core and thinly slice the apple.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside for garnish.

In a large bowl, toss together the green parts of the bok choy and scallions with the cooked bok choy, cooked cabbage and scallions, almonds, apple, and as much Caesar dressing as you like (set aside any remaining dressing for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the salad to individual plates or bowls. Sprinkle with the panko-Parmesan crumble and as much cilantro as you like. Serve any remaining dressing on the side.
