Author: Mizpah Matus

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dried wakame seaweed
  • 3 Japanese cucumbers
  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • ½ tsp. julienned ginger optional
  • 3 tablespoons coconut vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar

Instructions

  • Soak wakame in water for about ten minutes to rehydrate.
  • Drain well and transfer to a medium bowl. If necessary remove any tough stems and chop into one inch pieces.
  • Peel the cucumbers, slice into half moons and place in a separate bowl.
  • Sprinkle cucumbers with salt and massage gently.
  • After about five minutes gently squeeze out any excess water from cucumbers and place them into the bowl with the wakame.
  • Add coconut vinegar, agave and optional ginger to bowl and mix to combine thoroughly.
  • Allow to sit for at least five minutes so the cucumbers marinade and become softened.
  • Before serving drain off the liquid and place on individual dishes.
