  1. Wakame Salad and Miso Dressing

    March 25, 2008 by Victoria

    Ingredients:
    For the Salad:

    • 2 tablespoons dried Wakame kelp
    • 1/2 cup cold water
    • Cucumber, peeled and julienned
    • 3 chopped Spring Onions
    • Cherry Tomatoes cut in half
    • Daikon, boiled and julienned (These are even tastier if you stew them in a Konbu stock)

    For the Dressing:

    • 2 tablespoons of light miso
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
    • 1/4 cup good olive oil

    Directions:

    • I used dried pre-cut wakame from the Asian Market on Drury St.
    • You need to reconstitute the wakame in the cold water for about 6 or 7 minutes
    • Meanwhile you can make the dressing. I usually keep a few empty jars around the house for sauces. The easiest way to make this is to throw all of the dressing ingredients into a jar.
    • Make sure the lid is tight and shake vigorously
    • Shake the wakame dry and toss with the other salad ingredients
    • When you are ready to serve drizzle the dressing over your salad
