My daughter and I have both made this salad several times, and it is always a big hit. The crunchy texture of the nuts and seeds together with the sweet-sour asian dressing are a delicious mix. I usually use napa cabbage instead of bok choy; it makes a better slaw. I like that the recipe does not use the seasoning packet from the ramen noodles, so there is no msg.

I add broccoli slaw to the salad. Excellent dressing!
