Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 grams Dried wakame seaweed
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
Instructions
Start by soaking the dried wakame seaweed in a large bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes, or until it is fully rehydrated and tender.
While the seaweed is soaking, peel the carrot. Julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin strips.
Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
Once the seaweed is rehydrated, drain it well and gently squeeze out any excess water using your hands.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the rice vinegar, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and minced garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated seaweed, julienned cucumber, carrot strips, and sliced green onions.
Pour the dressing over the seaweed and vegetables; toss everything together until well combined.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salad and add the chopped cilantro leaves.
Toss the salad one more time and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary with additional soy sauce or lime juice.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes for a more refreshing taste.
