This raw wakame seaweed salad has been one of my favorites for over 25 years. It’s also one of the recipes I served at my first raw vegan restaurant in Atlanta.
Wakame is naturally rich in iodine and also contains minerals including calcium, magnesium and iron. You can find dried wakame at almost any Asian market.
Wakame Seaweed Salad
5 oz dried wakame seaweed
Water, for reconstituting
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup sesame oil
3 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
If you want the wakame chopped fine, pulse it in the food processor first, then reconstitute it in water. If you prefer larger pieces, reconstitute it as is.
Drain well, then toss with lemon juice, sesame oil and garlic.
It’s so freakin delicious….thank me later. 😘

My very first restaurant was a raw vegan spot in Atlanta called Everlasting Life. This was back in 2000.
I actually learned how to prepare raw food before I learned how to prepare cooked food. I learned about the healing benefits of raw food. Nothing is heated over 115° so when you eat raw, your body gets all the nutrients and minerals from the ingredients.
I’ve been getting back to my roots with my raw recipes and am excited to share them with you. Let me know your thoughts on this veggie wrap. 🌱
