Arrange mixed greens on chilled plates or a large serving platter.

• Steam vegetables separately Lay asparagus in the steamer, spreading in an even layer, then cover steamer and cook until asparagus is crisp-tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Asparagus will keep cooking a little after it is taken off the heat, so be careful not to overcook. Steam bok choy in same manner, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Dress and serve Transfer vegetables to a platter and drizzle with some vinaigrette. Serve immediately, or marinate in the vinaigrette for 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor, but the color of asparagus will change.)
