    Arame Cabbage Salad with Tahini Dressing

    Tangy, creamy, toasted, crunchy, nutty and fresh, this Arame Cabbage Salad with Tahini Dressing is really healthy and tasty. It's different than any salad you've ever had, I can guarantee it. The ume plum vinegar is the key to this unique flavor.  


    Arame Cabbage Salad | Tahini Dressing (vegan)

    Ume plum vinegar (aka Ume Su) is brine from umeboshi. Umeboshi is pickled ume plums and shiso (aka beef-steak leaf). Two ingredients we rarely see or use in the US. As you might expect from a product that undergoes a strenuous salting and pickling process, umeboshi is both salty and sour. Some would even describe it as astringent.

    Ume & Umeboshi are rich in potassium, manganese, and fibre. They help alleviate common digestive issues such as dyspepsia and bloating.

    The other main ingredient in this salad is seaweed. I chose arame. Seaweed is a wonderful ingredient in a plant-based diet. In fact, it has been a staple in Asian cultures since ancient times, and for good reason. Most types of seaweed are high in essential amino acids (aka protein) and packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants like iodine, iron, beta carotene, calcium, magnesium and much more. But let's be real, by itself, it doesn't always appeal to the taste buds.

    This salad is a great option for those of you that that don't love the flavor or texture of arame or other seaweeds (like nori, dulse or wakame). The addition of toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds and tahini reduces the ocean type of aroma and flavor but doesn't take away from the savory earthy tones.

    The bulk of the salad is red cabbage and crunchy veggies like red bell pepper, carrots and green onion. These vegetables (and fruits to be more scientific) add a crunchy texture, more healthy minerals, and of course nutritious fiber.

    In addition to delicious ume plum vinegar, tahini is essential to this dressing. The tahini adds a thickness (without cream or mayo) and sesame oil adds an earthy toasty element to balance the salty sour taste of the ume plum vinegar  and ocean taste of the arame.

    Funny fact: My mom makes this salad every Sunday or Monday and keeps it in the fridge for the entire week. She has it for lunch almost every day with warm tortillas and avocado. Stay tuned for a Taco Tuesday recipe that includes this wonderful arame cabbage slaw!

    ARAME CABBAGE SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING RECIPE
    by November-16-2017
    Ingredients
    • ½ red cabbage head, julienned
    • ½ bell pepper, thinly chopped
    • 1 carrots, shaved
    • 2 green onion, thinly sliced
    • ¼ cup dry arame, soaked in hot water
    • ¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted
    • 1 lemon, juiced
    • ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
    • ¼ c ume plum vinegar
    • 2-3 tablespoon tahini
    • pinch sea salt
    Instructions
    Combine the lemon juice, toasted sesame oil, ume plum vinegar, tahini and sea salt in a small bowl wish a whisk. 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.

      Do you think any other type of seaweed would work well also? I live very far from any Asian stores and am thinking of the dulse flakes and wakame I already have in the pantry...

        I don't think the texture and flavors will work. And I would hate for you to waste any expensive seaweed. Try ordering it on amazon.

        Thanks for comment! Hope that helps.

    What a fun collaboration with @veggiesdontbite a few weeks ago. We teamed up (in person) to create a bloody Maria recipe. It’s truly our own unique fun take on the traditional Bloody Mary. I’m not a huge fan of hard alcohol but I can do some tequila. And one cool thing about this recipe is you don’t need any alcohol. It’s THAT GOOD! And you really won’t miss it. Thanks for a fun day @veggiesdontbite link in my bio for full recipe on the blog right now.

    A healthy diet is so key to many aspects of our lives. Diet plays a huge role in disease gene deregulation, it requires less time at the gym with a trainer (more energy, less extra weight, & better recovery), diet helps with brain fog making us feel more clear headed, stronger teeth and better smelling breath is a great side effect, your skin care routine will thank you as well (more hydrated, less blemishes)! 
Because you feel so energetic, clear headed and strong, you end up with more confidence, self love and therefor self respect. This snowballs into less self sabotage and more self control! 
There are so many reasons why putting the time and energy into cleaning up your diet PAYS OFF!

    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this ye
    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this year. I was trying so hard for so long to describe a way of cooking that is from the soul, tapping into a skill we all have deep down but often don’t recognize or trust in: Intuitive Cooking. Not intuitive eating, but intuitive cooking! It's a type of cooking that comes from within! Not looking outside yourself but looking within; knowing and trusting yourself. Using flavors, ingredients, fruits/vegetables, and spices you love, and then applying all the cooking knowledge you have from your years of eating breakfast lunch, and dinner. Having fun in the kitchen. Seeing cooking as an art. 
So often we give our power away to recipes or people called experts. You know - those chefs or bloggers that seem “better at cooking” than you are. 
So often we assume others must know more than we do. And this diminishes our own trust in our abilities.  But I’m gonna tell you a secret: you are a creator in the kitchen with artistic abilities you have yet to discover or acknowledge. Trust yourself; and you’ve taken your first step towards better health and taking your power back. 
This right here is what I call the fridge dump dinner. I took whatever I had leftover in the fridge and made a nutritious meal from it. Read more on my blog: link to blog article in my bio.
