Tangy & Spicy Seaweed Salad

February 17, 2020
This seaweed salad is as simply delicious as it gets, and can be enjoyed in any season. Seaweed is a wonderful source of iodine, an essential nutrient that regulates thyroid function. Seaweed is also a good source of fiber and protein, lending a unique, briny flavor to your dish. With just a few ingredients, you'll be able to create a versatile side dish in minutes.

Directions

1. Soak the seaweed in hot water for at least 10 minutes. An alternative option, is to soak the seaweed in a bowl of room temperature water through the day or overnight. You’ll want to leave a lot of room because the seaweed expands.

2. Drain any remaining water. Add the soy sauce, black vinegar, chili flakes and sugar. Mix well.

3. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Let it chill in the fridge and serve!

See what I mean? This dish is dead easy. I add this seaweed to salads, soups, or have it as a side dish. It’s both flavorful and light, with a satisfying umami. If you’re meal prepping or have any leftovers, it will last for up to four days.
