Locavore Dinner Party, Part II: Grilled Bok Choy with Spicy Vinaigrette

Going back to the dinner party mentioned a couple of weeks ago, there is much more locavore-action to discuss! One of the dishes that we made was Grilled Bok Choy with a spicy vinaigrette, one that I hope to reprise this weekend. (Recipe from Serious Eats, Dinner Tonight)

This couldn't be more simple and certainly is wonderfully delicious. I took baby bok choy (I think regular bok choy would also be great and might actually stand up to the heat longer) and sliced them in half length-wise. I placed these on the grill for just a couple of minutes until there was some nice char (next time, I'm going to brush them with a bit of sesame oil or the vinaigrette to allow for more even charring). Generously drizzle the spicy sesame vinaigrette and enjoy!
