Seaweed salad with mustard, garlic and ginger sauce
4 servings
30 minutes
This seaweed salad with a spicy mustard, garlic, and ginger dressing offers the perfect blend of freshness and aromatic spice. Seaweed, popular in Eastern and European cuisines, is rich in iodine and beneficial trace elements, while its delicate texture pairs excellently with crunchy carrots, sweet peppers, and fresh cucumbers. The dressing made from olive oil, wine vinegar, fragrant coriander, and black pepper adds complexity to the dish with a hint of spiciness. This salad is great as a standalone dish or as a side to fish or seafood. It refreshes, satisfies and benefits health, making the meal not only tasty but also nutritious.
