Bok Choy salad recipe with crunchy noodles, slivered almonds, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing

-Almonds contain both protein and unsaturated (“good”) fats.  They also increase the satiety of this salad because of the protein and fibre.

-Whenever there is an opportunity to add green leaves (eg. Bok Choy, spinach, herbs) to a meal, do it. Leafy green vegetables contain many nutrients including omega 3 fats and folate.

-Pre-fried noodles would not be a first choice of ingredient.  The noodles would be fried in cheap oils, but given that the noodles provide a crunchy texture and all the other ingredients are so healthy, I'd leave them in.

-Vinegar or lemon juice, being acids, lower the GI of the whole meal, increase satiety and may reduce blood cholesterol
