This was adapted from a “Seaweed and Cucumber Salad” recipe with completely different proportions, which I haven’t tried:

1 C wakame
3 C water
1/4 English Cucumber, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 shallot, sliced

Place the dried seaweed in water and soak for 10 minutes. Drain and dice. Combine it in a mixing bowl with the cucumber and shallot.

Dress with a vinaigrette of:
1 T salt
1 T sugar
2 T rice or cider vinegar
