Notes

  • Dried Seaweed: I used a combination of dried mekabu seaweed and hijaki seaweed in this salad, though you can use any variety of dried seaweed you'd like.
  • Make it Paleo: To make this recipe paleo, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Rice Vinegar: If you don't have rice vinegar, you could use white vinegar instead.
