Hijiki, Tuna and Edamame Salad
Ingredients:
1 oz dried hijiki
1 can (5oz) tuna (either in oil or in water), drained
1/2 cup frozen edamame, thawed

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice


Directions:

Rehydrate the dried hijiki according to package instructions.
If there is no instruction, soak the hijiki in plenty of water for 30-60 minutes or until softened. Rinse in water several times to get rid of any dirt, and pat dry with paper towels.

Cut into 1-2 inches long if necessary.

In a bowl, mix the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and lemon juice, and fold in the hijiki, tuna and edamame.

Let sit for 15 minutes before serving so flavors blend.
