Sea Weed Salad with Kale and Cucumber
For the salad:
- 1/2 ounce dried wakame seaweed, cut or uncut (available in most health/specialty food stores and for sure your local Japanese market) or nori seaweed.
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup kale sliced into ribbons
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
For the dressing:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1small clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh, minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Cover seaweed with warm water and allow to soak until soft, about 5 minutes. If uncut, slice into thin strips. Lay on paper towel to drain, and squeeze or pat out excess water.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Toss together with seaweed, cucumber and sliced kale, sprinkling with sesame seeds.
- While great on its own, this salad also acts for a great base with a myriad of additions, like tofu cubes, green apples, and shredded carrots.
