Ingredients

• 30 grams Dried wakame seaweed
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 2 stalks Scallion
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Soak the dried wakame seaweed in a bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes or until it becomes tender and expands significantly.

Step 2

While the seaweed is soaking, peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. If desired, slices can be halved for smaller cucumber bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Trim and finely slice the scallions, using both the white and green parts.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, erythritol sweetener, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the dressing.

Step 5

Once the wakame seaweed is rehydrated, drain and gently squeeze out excess water. Chop into bite-sized pieces for easier consumption, if necessary.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated wakame seaweed, sliced cucumber, and scallions.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure even coating.

Step 8

Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld completely.

Step 9

Just before serving, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top for added crunch and flavor. Serve chilled.
