Prepare the wakame seaweed by soaking it in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes, or until rehydrated and tender. Drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the green cabbage and place it into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrot into thin strips. Add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the drained wakame seaweed to the cabbage mixture and pour the dressing over the top.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve and enjoy!
