Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried wakame seaweed
• 2 cups Hot water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Granulated erythritol (low-carb sweetener)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the dried wakame seaweed in a large bowl and pour the hot water over it. Let it soak for 5-7 minutes until the seaweed is fully rehydrated and tender.

Step 2

Drain the soaked seaweed in a colander and gently squeeze out any excess water. If the seaweed pieces are too large, chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rice vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, granulated erythritol, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk together until the dressing is well mixed and smooth.

Step 4

Add the rehydrated wakame seaweed to the bowl with the dressing. Toss until the seaweed is evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 5

Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top of the salad. Gently toss again to combine.

Step 6

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for a refreshing cold salad.
