Pickled pak choi salad is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the freshness of greens with rich Eastern notes. Pak choi, popular in Asian gastronomy, gains a new flavor dimension thanks to a marinade of citrus juices, sweet dates, aromatic ginger, and soy sauce. Olive oil adds smoothness while grated carrots provide a pleasant texture. Light and refreshing, this salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to main hot dishes. Its sweet-sour taste with spicy accents makes it versatile for various culinary combinations. Serve it chilled to better reveal all the nuances of the ingredients.
