Seaweed might be considered a tricky food, as it has a strong briny taste that many people reject. But there was one seaweed salad that I fell in love with once, and I will never forget it: a wakame (kind of seaweed) salad at a sushi restaurant in Barcelona. It was creamy, incredibly tasty! I don’t have the recipe for that salad, but I have tried to recreate it here. I warn you, if you’re an extra picky eater it may take a while for you to get used to the taste of seaweed. It’s better if you have a small portion as an appetizer. But however you decide to eat it, it’s worth a try!
