["SALAD: Place dried seaweed (wakame) in a deep bowl. Cover fully with water and let it sit on the counter top for at least 10 minutes while you prep the rest of the dish. It will absorb the liquid very fast. If needed, add more water until you're ready to prepare.", "Place carrots, celery, purple cabbage, and brussels sprouts (if using) into a food processor until diced to equal size. This is the colorful ""confetti."" Place in a large prep bowl.", "Add cucumber, separately, into the food processor and dice. Place in the same prep bowl. Set bowl aside while preparing the dressing.", "DRESSING: Whisk (or blend) all ingredients together. Thin with water or add more honey for a creamier consistency.", "Optional: Have also added a little bit of tahini as well for a milder black sesame dressing.", "TO ASSEMBLE: Drain seaweed (wakame) until majority of the liquid has been released. (You don't want a watery salad). Start with half of the seaweed and place into the prep bowl with the rest of the vegetables. Add more or less as you wish.", "Dress the salad by gradually drizzling the black sesame dressing. Toss to combine. Taste for added salt (if needed).", "Top with sesame seeds or hemp seeds.", "Great to mix up with whatever leftover vegetables you have in the fridge for a quick and easy dinner or light snack.
