Bok Choy and Corn Salad

This one is a real surprise. It is fast and very distinctive. Soon farmers markets should have fresh local Bok Choy, Corn and Cilantro.

Ingredients:

Bok Choy (4 heads for each person)
Corn (1 cob for every 4 heads of Bok Choy)
Cilantro (a half a bunch or more, I like much more)
Cumin (2 tbs)
Oregano (2 tbs)
Garlic Powder (2 tbs or more or 2 crushed cloves)
1 Lime (squeezed for juice. I use Verjus)
Salt (To taste)

In a food processor blend the bok choy (already cut up into pieces) with the cilantro thoroughly. Cut the corn off the cob. Mix everything together in a bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. This keeps well covered for 3 days. It is a great side dish that tastes much richer than the work involved in making it. Go crazy with the cilantro. It’s the secret ingredient to this one. The above amounts of ingredients are enough for one person to have as a side dish so double the amounts for 2, quadruple for 4 etc. In the summer bok choy and corn can be inexpensive. This is a fun side dish that is easy to make and is very tasty and nutritious. Great for potlucks but bring the recipe as everyone will want to know what it is. Salud!
