This is a quick and easy recipe for wakame salad that is very healthy. You will need some dried wakame flakes, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the “Mother” and raw honey – all available from a health food store. Two brands of apple cider vinegar I have tried are Braggs and Solana Gold. Raw honey is available in many brands. I was able to buy all the ingredients from Whole Foods Market here in Southern California.
It takes about 30 minutes to make wakame salad. Start by placing the contents of a 30-gram packet of dried wakame flakes in a bowl. Add water to rehydrate the wakame and then set aside. Next, slice a cucumber and spread the slices on a cutting board and salt them. Allow the salted cucumber slices to set for 20 minutes. Mix the honey and the apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Stir to completely dissolve the honey.
After the cucumber slices have set for 20 minutes, squeeze them out and add them to the honey and vinegar mixture. Finally, add these to the rehydrated wakame and mix everything together. Keep refrigerated.
Ingredients:
- 30 g dried wakame flakes (1.06 oz bag)
- 1 small cucumber
- 1/4 cup raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the “Mother”
- 3/4 tbsp raw honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
Empty one bag of dried wakame flakes to a medium bowl, then add water to almost cover them. Set aside while re-hydrating. Next, slice the cucumber into thin slices, then spread out over cutting board. Sprinkle salt over the cucumber slices and set aside for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, add apple cider vinegar and honey and stir to completely dissolve the honey. After the salted cucumbers have set for 20 minutes, squeeze out all the water then add them to the apple cider vinegar and honey. Mix well, and then add the mixed ingredients to the re-hydrated wakame flakes. Mix all the ingredients with a spoon and serve.
