Seaweed is a true concentrate of vitamins and minerals. They add a little crunchy texture and salty taste to this simple recipe.

I was not sure of the seaweed but it was not bad. It is better freshly eaten. It was not hard to find the seaweed at a Chinese grocery store. You can omit the seaweed and it would still be a great salad.
