OK, so, I had posted this recipe a few months ago. Maybe even a year ago. It's the best salad ever but it's even BETTER now. Somehow I left off a key ingredient in the recipe {whoops, sorry} before. Apologies to anybody that made this salad.
But, in addition, my mom and I have been playing around with measurements and we have perfected this times 10. It's incredibly delicious. And we updated the photo as you can see.
A perfect addtion to your January resolutions recipe box, I highly suggest this recipe.
ARAME CABBAGE SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING RECIPE
SALAD INGREDIENTS
½ red cabbage head, julienned
½ bell pepper, thinly chopped
1 carrots, shaved
2 green onion, thinly sliced
¼ c dry arame, soaked in hot water
¼ c sesame seeds, toasted
DRESSING INGREDIENTS
1 lemon, juiced
¼ c toasted sesame oil
¼ c olive oil
¼ c ume plum vinegar {left this out last time}
2-3 tablespoon tahini
pinch sea salt to taste (optional)
DRESSING DIRECTIONS
Combine everything in a measuring cup or small bowl. Whisk together with a fork or a whisk.
SALAD DIRECTIONS
Soak dry arame seaweed in warm water for about 30 seconds, until soft, then strain out the water and set aside.
Prep (slice/chop) cabbage, bell pepper, carrots and green onion (scallions). You can use a mandolin or food processor if you wish to chop faster. I use a knife.
Toss the salad all together with the sesame seeds and add the softened arame.
Add the dressing and toss again until everything is well coated.
Serve immediately. Or store the salad (with dressing on it) in an airtight container in the fridge. Salad will stay fresh for about 4 days.

Funny...I made this salad and it didn't taste very good. Just tasted like oil...but I am going to try it again with the ume vinegar.
Thanks!

I just found your website and can't wait to try some of your recipes! But I notice there appears to be a missing ingredient in this cabbage salad under the ingredients list. Between the sesame oil and the ume vinegar, there is a line that just says 1/4 cup but does not say of what.

Linda! I updated this recipe recently - it's really old - and somehow missed that typo. Olive oil is the missing ingredient. So sorry about that! 😉 Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment.
