Spinach Salad with Seared Bok Choy, Ginger and Cilantro

This Asian-inspired recipe is alive with shades of green from spinach and bok choy and distinct flavors of soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Using canola oil to sear the bok choy allows the vegetables to soften slightly while bringing out its natural, subtle sweetness. And when you arrange the sautéed bok choy over fresh spinach, the warmth gently wilts the spinach leaves. The result is a mouth-watering medley of tastes and textures.
