Seaweed Salad with Fresh Herbs and Chile
Serves 4
Time 15 min
The fresh, bright flavor of this salad is a great way to introduce newbies to the wonders of seaweed. We suggest using a popular Southeast Asian combination of mint, basil and cilantro in the salad, but even using two of these varieties will give the salad complex flavor.
