Thai Bok Choy Salad with Ginger Peanut Sauce

This recipe came from here- thai-bok-choy-salad with ginger peanut dressing, except I did not add ramen noodles, sesame seeds or peanuts.  I did marinate the chicken in her Ginger Soy marinade from another of her recipes, but it is not necessary.  The day I made this I happened to have exactly 1 cup of fresh coconut milk from a green Thai coconut that I had finally gotten around to opening.  I put all of the coconut flesh (which is very little) with a bit of the coconut water in the food processor and it made 1 cup coconut milk-just enough for the dressing.

Optional: halved grape tomatoes, bean sprouts, cucumbers, jicama
