When I think of veggies I love, seaweed is definitely one of them. It’s dark green, tastes similar to spinach, looks like grass, and is a little chewy. You can find dehydrated spinach at your local health food store — it’s usually called arame or wakame. It might sound foriegn and difficult to cook with seaweed, but here is an example of a really simple salad you can make with seaweed and cubumber.

Ingredients

• 1 small cucumber
• 1 cup wakame seaweed (softened)
• 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt

Preparation:

1. Cut softened wakame seaweed into about 2inch-long pieces.
2. Slice cucumber into thin rounds.
3. Put salt over cucumber slices and set aside for 20 minutes.
4. Squeeze cucumber slices to remove the liquid.
5. Mix vinegar and sugar in a bowl.
6. Add wakame seaweed and cucumber slices in the bowl and mix well.

Love you!
