Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, toasted sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the seaweed mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve the seaweed tartare chilled, garnished with crushed nori sheets if desired. Pair it with crispy crackers or fresh bread for a delightful appetizer.
