Dulse Salad Food

DULSE SALAD

Steps:

• Separate dulse fronds and rinse in 1 cup of chilled kelp stock for 15 to 20 seconds. Squeeze out moisture and place in a deep bowl. Mix the seasoned rice wine vinegar, mirin, soy sauce and dashi and pour over the separated dulse fronds. Mix all together for one minute or so. Divide into four chilled dishes and sprinkle the kelp cayenne sea seasoning over the top. Serve immediately. This salad has a wonderful ocean brine aroma. Great with smoked fish.

SEAWEED SALAD

Steps:

• Put the dulse and wakame in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak 5 to 10 minutes, until softened. Drain in a colander, pat dry and place in a serving bowl.
• To make the dressing, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, ginger, wasabi powder, soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
• Spoon half the dressing over the seaweed, add the lime juice and toss gently. Taste and add a small amount of salt if necessary. Surround the salad with the carrot, radish, daikon, cucumber and avocado. Season them lightly with salt and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
• Sprinkle the salad with the white and black sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and green onions.

RED CABBAGE, APPLE, AND DULSE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the minced scallions, miso, mustard, vinegar, oil, and ginger. Julienne the apple and add the slices to the dressing, tossing lightly to coat. Using scissors, cut 1/4 cup of the dulse into thin strips. Add it to the apples, followed by the cabbage. Toss and season with salt.
• Turn a gas burner on medium. Holding the pieces with tongs, quickly pass the remaining dulse leaves over the flame once or twice. They should be lightly toasted with a crackly texture. Break into bite-size pieces.
• To serve, divide the salad among the plates and top each with several pieces of toasted dulse.

SESAME SEAWEED SALAD
