In somebody else’s lake… Look, it’s not a post about pancakes!
All the Way Arame Salad is making its way around the world! Seriously, give this stuff a try—even if you think you don’t like seaweed. The less-intense flavor of arame (as opposed to hijiki) combined with the sweet-tangy sauce make this salad a delicious way to add tons of fiber, calcium, iodine, and other important nutrients to your diet.
Usually, I don’t like raw, crunchy carrots nor raw bell peppers, but in this tangy-sweet dressing I find myself chomping raw carrots like Bugs Bunny. Snack, lunch, dinner… it’s even good at breakfast. Don’t judge!
As much as I like ugly foods (hello peachy green ice cream!), prettiness just adds to the enjoyment of a meal. Don’t judge by appearances… blah blah blah. But I can’t be the only one who feels this way, can I?
All the Way Arame Salad, cashews, a peach, wheatberry-apple pilaf, and brussels sprouts chips. Is it weird to eat roasted b-sprouts in the summer? They’re actually one of my favorite summer foods, especially at snacktime—I pop ‘em cold, like chips! Remember kale chips?
Can you believe I’ve never tried seaweed? I’m gunna check out my Asian grocery store this week because that salad looks fab!
i looked at seaweed in the store… but didn’t buy it as i’m trying to use what’s already in my kitchen… i might have to break that rule 🙂
I love arame, too! I’ve had it in kale and seaweed salad and edamame/arame salad, but now must try your version, too! Always looking for new ways to incorporate sea veggies!
No need to apologize for missing a post–I know what it’s like to be overwhelmed and not have enough time to read/comment as much as you’d like to. If only days had 36 hours instead of 24!
Okay, you’ve convinced me! I think I’ll look for some arame next time I’m out. The salad looks super summery, and I think that *eating* seaweed will help make up for my inability to *swim* in seaweed-laden ocean water thanks to New England’s chilly weather lately!
“You dream about going up there, but that is a big mistake.” It’s kinda scary how much of that song I know by heart.
Anyway, I really must make a trip to WF for some of this arame. You make it look so good!
I must get some seaweed soon! I’ve only heard amazing things about it =)
I haven’t seen Arame yet, but I made Hijiki salad wraps today for lunch! It kind of looks the same though I don’t really know about the taste.
I LOVE brussel sprouts!
Mmmm…love seaweed. I need to use it more. Meanwhile, I have noticed you and others talk about overnight oats. What is the process? Thanks!
im convinced if i learned how to make my own sushi i would never eat anything else- which is why I have never bought seaweed before. may need to change my tune
definitely not weird to eat roasted brussels in the summer – you’ve just made me want some!!
I’ll have to try the salad, I’m not sure if I like seaweed either. but then the only stuff I’ve tried is nori on sushi rolls and I’m not a huge lover of that.
HaHa! my daughter laughs at me because I want my food to look pretty:) I still have not been brave enough to try seaweed. Just the thought makes me cringe. He, I did have dulse granules yesterday! Does that count? I may have to give your salad a try but no promises:)
I don’t think I can get arame here, but I am very intriegued. I need to have a better look at the Asian stores.
im so obsessed with sesame seaweed salads. i had some in yesterdays lunch 🙂
the brussels look great, i seem to forget about roasted veggies in summer…
I LOVE roasted Brussels sprouts anytime of the year, and I eat them cold as a little snackie sometimes too. Not weird at all. 🙂
So colorful!!
I just made some kale chips! Yum!
