Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried seaweed (wakame or seaweed salad mix)
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rehydrating the dried seaweed. Place the seaweed in a medium-sized bowl, cover it with cold water, and let it soak for about 5 minutes or until it expands and softens. Once rehydrated, drain excess water and squeeze out any additional moisture using your hands. Set the seaweed aside.

Step 2

While the seaweed is soaking, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber and carrot into matchstick-sized pieces. Chop the green onions into thin rounds. Set the vegetables aside.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and sugar. Whisk these ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well-mixed.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the rehydrated seaweed, cucumber, carrot, and green onion. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 5

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top of the salad. Gently toss again to incorporate the sesame seeds into the salad.

Step 6

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve the Dairy-Free Refreshing Seaweed Salad as a delightful appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
