This was wonderful. It was a light very tasty salad that everyone enjoyed. I did use some leftover grilled chicken breast and also added a can of mandarin oranges as one of my nectarines was bad. Delicious!

The bok choy was not a hit, so I'd have to use lettuce or cabbage instead. Otherwise, very tasty.

This was really good. The dressing was very flavorful and the bok choy gave it an interesting texture and flavor. I increased the chicken to 1 pound and used 6 oz. of chinese noodles. It came out excellent! Thanks for posting this delightfully different recipe.
