SLB SEAWEED SALAD

I love seaweed. It’s one of the most mineral-rich and nutrient dense healers and is really easy to work with but most of us don’t eat much of it beyond sushi because we know what to do with it. Seaweed is full of natural iron, helps regulate the thyroid and is so replenishing. It’s perfect if you’re working out and sweating a lot this summer. Try this simple and delicious 10-min recipe. Arame is really mild seaweed and this salad is great as a side or a main by pairing it with your protein of choice.

Seaweed Salad
1 cup of dried arame seaweed
4 cups water
3 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1-2 large carrots, shaved thin

Dressing
2 tbsp tamari (Bragg liquid aminos works, also)
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup water

Soak arame in water for 10 minutes and place aside while you prep salad. Combine sliced cucumber and carrots in a mixing bowl. In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients. Strain arame and add to cucumber-carrot mixture. Pour in dressing, add sesame seeds and toss w hands. Serve!
