Bok Choi Apple Salad

This is a salad that uses fresh bok choy--so no heating up the kitchen, and it keeps its lovely crunch to boot.  The balsamic vinegar and raisins give the dressing a dark color, so the salad doesn't have the best curb appeal, but you could use golden raisins and white balsamic vinegar to make it more attactive--but the flavor is excellent!

1. • 6 cups finely chopped bok choy
   • 1 large apple, shredded
   • 1 large carrot, shredded
   • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
   • 1/2 cup buttermilk
   • 1/2 cup cashews or 1/4 cup cashew butter
   • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
   • 1/4 cup raisins
   • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1. 1. Combine bok choy, apple, carrot, and chopped onion in a large bowl.
   2. Blend soy milk, cashews, vinegar, raisins, and mustard in a food processor or high-powered blender. Add desired amount to chopped vegetables.
