    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.

      You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I
      would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
      I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to
      get the hang of it!

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
