Seaweed Salad

Seaweed Salad is a type of Japanese cold salad made with wakame seaweeds, carrots and sesame seeds dressed in miso sesame oil vinaigrette. Its crispy, slimy, sweet, savoury, definitely a delicious salad filled with tons of umami, on a simple salad like this it’s hard to believe that you will get an explosion of flavours and texture in one bite. I love enjoying this on its own but usually this is served with Japanese seafood dishes, sushi’s and sashimi.
