Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dried wakame
  • 3 oranges
  • 1 large spring onion
  • Iceberg or romaine lettuce, shredded or chopped thinly

For the dressing

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1-inch chunk grated fresh ginger

      4. Chop the seaweed into small pieces and add to the bowl.
      5. Add the onion and lettuce.
      6. Blend all the dressing ingredients together in a blender. Pour over the salad.
