  • 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari
  • 1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp Sesame Oil

  • Combine the Salad:
    Toss the rehydrated seaweed with the prepared dressing until all pieces are evenly coated.
  • Add Toppings:
    Sprinkle the salad with toasted sesame seeds, crushed nori, and thinly sliced scallions.
  • Chill and Serve:
    Let the salad chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.Serve cold as a side dish or pair it with a meal like a Green Goddess Buddha Bowl.
