Easy Wakame Seaweed Salad
Similar to the seaweed salad you get at sushi restaurants, I tweaked it to give it more crunch and nutrition! Enjoy as a delicious side dish alongside rice and a protein!
Ingredients
Salad
- 2 cups wakame dried
- 4 cups hot water
- 1 cup julienned carrot
- 1 cup julienned cucumber
- 1 cup shelled edamame
Dressing
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsps granulated sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsps white sesame seeds
Instructions
Wakame Salad
- In a large bowl, soak dried wakame in 4 cups hot water for 10 mins until rehydrated. Once fully rehydrated, drain, rinse and pat wakame dry with a paper towel or clean dish cloth. Chop into small pieces.
- In a medium bowl, add wakame, carrots, cucumber and edamame and set aside.
Wakame Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and sesame seeds.
- Pour dressing over wakame salad and toss together. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
