Bok Choy Slaw Recipe
In the summer when there are a lot of fresh vegetables in our garden and at the farmer’s market, one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh summer vegetables is in a vegetable slaw. Many times when you hear “slaw recipe,” you automatically think of coleslaw drenched in a heavy mayonnaise like dressing.
While that’s certainly a great way to enjoy cabbage, there are a lot of slaw recipes that use vegetables other than cabbage (like this bok choy slaw recipe) and don’t include mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise is fairly high in fat and isn’t necessarily something I want to eat regularly. Commercially prepared mayonnaise generally has canola oil which I try to avoid.
There is also no dairy/eggs in the recipe so it’s suitable for those with allergies.
This Bok Choy Slaw recipe is a delicious, crunchy slaw that includes bok choy, carrots and scallions. Nothing in the recipe is cooked so it is the perfect summer dish when you don’t want to heat up the oven.
What type of slaw recipe do you enjoy in the summer? Have you ever tried one with bok choy like this carrot and bok choy slaw recipe?

Wow, this looks awesome – thanks for sharing again at the #WWDParty!

What a great way to change-up the normal (boring) coleslaw. I love that you don’t use mayo, I can’t stand the stuff!
I like it so much better with no mayonnaise!
I’ve never tried anything like this. It looks great!
Thanks, Racquel. It twas!
Did you say bok choy? Oh that’s a fantastic addition to cole slaw, Ellen.
Thanks, Liz! It’s delicious!
Too funny I just saw a friend post on Facebook that they have never seen anyone eat slaw (Cole or any kind).
They don’t know what they are missing!
T/hat’s very colorful! I don’t eat coleslaw but know many people that enjoy it.
My hubby won’t eat it either, Val!
We grow are own zucchini in our garden so the zucchini carrot slaw looks like a great one to try. They all look so great!
No zucchini for us this year but I’ll get some at the CSA and give it a try!
I have been eating carrots alot lately. This looks good!
Thanks, Tess. Great way to use up a few extra carrots.
I think I might actually enjoy carrots again! This looks absolutely delicious! And the perfect summer salad too!
Thanks, Amber! It’s great when the weather is hot.
What a great take on Slaw. I would of never thought of Bok Choy its definitely something I would like to incorporate more. It’s amazing for your health. Thank you for sharing.
It definitely is good for you, Laura, and this is an easy way to use it!
I have a weekness for a good slaw recipe and this one sounds amazing… They all look and sound amazing. Thanks for sharing
Glad to, Shauna! I love slaws as well.
I tried an Asian salad the other day. The ingredients were pretty similar.
Definitely, Sarah. There are a lot of variations on Asian slaws.
I’ve never had anything like this, but I have to say that I really want to try it! It sounds very tasty!
It was, Robin! Hope you can try it!
The carrot and bok choy salad looks delicious. I am going to send the link to my dad as he loved bok choy.
Thanks for sharing, Ann!
My daughter loves bok choy but I never buy it because I don’t know many recipes for it. Yours looks great.
Thanks, Pam! Time to try it for her!
There’s nothing better than slaw in the summer months, and this one looks delicious. Not only do the ingredients sound yummy, it looks beautiful as well.
Thanks, Courtney. It’s really good!
This looks amazing. I absolutely love the colors too, something about summer and bright colors that go perfect together.
Thanks, Nancy. I love the colors as well plus it’s yummy!
I love slaw, but have never tried anything like this, I will have to make this I am sure my family will love it.
It’s really good, Susan. Hope you can try it!
This recipe looks very cool and refreshing. I have never tried bok choy, or at least knowingly. There are a few Asian veggies I love in my Chinese medley dish that I don’t know exactly what they are. Maybe the celery-like one?
That might be it, Amy!
That looks like a great slaw. What a great collection of recipes too!
Thanks, Kristin. Lots to choose from!
Looks like a great light recipe to eat when it’s really hot out. I’d rather have this than a large meal when summer is here.
Me too, Janel. I hate big meals when it’s hot.
Nice! I’m always looking for new bok choy recipes!
Me too, Chelley! I get tired of stir fry.
This looks like a unique recipe. I can’t wait to try it!
It’s delicious, Daisy!
